But three message editors is a very small drop in a very large bucket.  Your
original post said nothing about popularity.

Baked, DCTEdit, EXyEdit, FSEdit, GEdit, IceEdit, OM, PEdit, QuickEd, QuikEdit,
SabreEDIT, SHEDIT, SyncEdit, TurboEDIT, TIDE, ExtraEdit, YEDIT, ZAFFER,
SETEDIT... and those are just the ones in the BBS Archives.

Most message editors are BBS software and most of them do not do quoting like
that.  The most popular in various regions is a completely different
discussion.

Synchronet doesn't do data collection, and most Synchronet boards aren't
connected to FidoNet.  Further, the vast majority of Synchronet users don't use
the internal message editor anyway.
