MapBox is a ridiculous joke until they start supporting building numbers.

(Yes, they know of this limitation, but they deliberately cripple their product because of 'typographical clarity' or somesuch bullshit.)

Do you mean adding building numbers to the map (similar to the OSM Mapnik tiles?) This is something you can do yourself in TileMill and then overlay onto MapBox Streets or other tiles.

The product isn't a joke just because it doesn't support the one minor feature you want. I use it and love it.
