p.s. My fear is that this is not a very representative thread. A few people killed some popular options early on, such as flanking. In multiple campaigns with multiple DMs we always played with flanking, and some popular streaming games on the interwebs also use it... And here it is killed before some options that I have never even heard about.
[Edit: On 2nd thought, I guess it is also not meant as a popularity poll, but as a survivor thread... doh.]
