I just did your survey, but forgot to mention a feature idea. I recently finished a typesetting a master thesis, which I converted with pandoc from docx to tex. Together with the Harvard Thesis template it was a bliss and took just ~6 hours to set the ~80 pages.

Maybe a document converting feature (via pandoc!?) would help the merged product :) (And I would totally pay for that :D)

Thanks for the suggestion! We have played around with pandoc as an option in the ShareLaTeX compiler, but we weren't able to get it working smoothly enough for us to be happy with it. But it's definitely on our radar.
CoCalc isn't so famous for latex editing, but it has a proper Linux terminal with pandoc. That allows you to automate some tasks, etc.
