Hi,

There is also a third way which is to open OSM data with GDAL/OGR. Usage:
Add vector layer - Open an OGR supported Vector Layer - path to
OpenStreetMap .xml or .pbf file. OSM does not seem to be listed as a
supported file format at least in QGIS 2.2 but it works still. The manual
page of OSM driver is http://www.gdal.org/drv_osm.html.
