If you like map projections, you're gonna love this:

Although I released it July 2020, so
@Krishnan may be talking about something else? (as it isn't exactly old).
Anyway, of the small sample of projections in your poll, I actually prefer the Mercator, although it is generally frowned upon (and for good reason). Especially in the square MFD format, it fills the entire MFD, contrary to the equirectangular (default Map MFD) projection.
Never understood the hype for Winkel Tripel. The Robinson I find ok, but the mathematical implementation is a mess.
Some other map projections I like:
- Hammer, much like the popular Mollweide, but with analytical solution, and some nice curvy longitude lines.
- Lambert Azimuthal Equal-Area, is polar, and looks like a globe. Also, I generally like any equal-area projection, as I personally find it the most important feature of a map.
- Loximuthal, looks like an egg. Also has the constant-heading-is-a-straight-line-feature, like Mercator.
- Stereographic, every circle is also a circle on the map. I love circles.

Also honorary mention to the oblique Mollweide, which hangs in my office.
