It can use a little bit of a facelift to make it look better visually, but it's not impossible to make into a good map without having to completely remake the thing, and I wouldn't call using it again in some form lazy either. Resources that already exist can be improved and reused, and there shouldn't be any problem with that.

Making it in a house would look even worse, too, as a comparison. There are just some things you can't do in there. And you certainly couldn't make a visually improved version into one, if as expected someone aims to tweak this.

Besides, I don't see anything being designed from scratch for a long while. Who knows, a more accessible project that doesn't require starting from the beginning might draw some potential attention from people who otherwise wouldn't have touched the map maker. To that end, it could even be a good opportunity to get some new budding mapper volunteers for the game.

...Heck, this is starting to sound like it'd make a good mapping contest. Perhaps a thought for some day.
