What editors are PPL using now?

Hey. So I haven't coded a chiptune properly for C-64 since the mid 90s (I've used a hardsid in midi, a sidstation, and (gasp) quadrasid emulation but all mainly in recorded work). But now I am thinking it would be fun to make some new tracks, and some old friends are starting to ask me for them...

So, the last time I really did anything it was in JCH Editor (v17-19 range, I think... it is all foggy now). I'm curious to hear what people are using now and what enhancements have been made. I'm sorry if this is a redundant topic somewhere else --

I've dabbled with GoatTracker. Found it a bit off. But one thing I did like, that wasn't present in JCH editor was the sort of ability to vastly modify the instrument within the pattern data. For example, changing filter mode/cutoff/resonance within the voices vs. having to make one or several sweeping instrument definitions.

I had messed a little bit with multi-speed editing (x3), which at the time was a pain.

I'm also pretty interested in some of what has happened with C-64 + sample playback. I saw an impressive demo of something like a MOD or XM playing on C64, and then being post processed through the filter.

Anyway, curious to hear what people are using and why.

there's also:

DMC (yeah I know it's so 90's, but there are still good composers who still use it... e.g. PSycHo)

John-Player (quite limited, but can still make great tunes out of it if you can do it right... check some of Reed's tunes for proof.)

Polly-Tracker ... if you like to play with sample-based stuff.

you can also PM The Human Code Machine for an experimental Sid player mixed with MOD player sampling... though that AFAIK requires you to use... GoatTracker (used by me, Linus, Jammer, Randall, Hein, Ne7, Cadaver, many others...)

I also made a tracker... but that's a piece of shit and must be forgotten.
