19edo is the second edo, after [[12edo]] which is able to approximate [[5-limit]] intervals and chords with tolerable accuracy (unless you count [[15edo]], which has a 18-cent-sharp fifth). Having an almost just minor third and perfect fifths and major thirds about 7 cents flat, it serves as a good tuning for [[meantone]]. Unlike 12edo, where [[enharmonic]] notes are conflated, 19edo distinguishes them, and differs from [[17edo]] in that its [[diatonic semitone]] is wider than the [[chromatic semitone]], rather than narrower. In fact, it is nearly identical to the enharmonic scale of [[1/3-comma meantone]], and can be considered a closed form thereof.

It is less successful in the [[7-limit]] as it conflates the septimal subminor third ([[7/6]]) with the septimal whole tone ([[8/7]]), but it is still better than 12edo on average.
