Okay, I've compiled all the suggestions, just for community interest:
The top three suggestions:

A "suggestion" is "mentioned positively by a person". A person could (and many did!) make multiple suggestions. I combined vim and neovim by personal preference. I did not keep the differentiation, but I don't think neovim was suggested on its own, and vim was.
Also, multiple emacs folks were self deprecating in their suggestion, which I find funny considering my network has a bunch of fans.
