I, at least currently, work strictly in [[EDO|'''edos''']]. I don't tend to go any higher than ~~'''~~72edo~~'''~~ in my own works, so here are my impressions of all the positive integer edos up to 72. This page is designed to be read wholly from top to bottom, but you can still read specific entries in isolation. Additionally, each edo category also has its own tier list and recap.

Line 76:

I'd say this edo is on equal footing with 3edo, maybe slightly behind. You could certainly argue that it's better than 3edo, considering it contains 2 interlocked instances of 2edo, as well as an extra note. This seems like a convincing case for 4edo, but I personally think augmented triads are more interesting than diminished tetrads in isolation. It's really all about taste, as is everything in the world of music.

Line 150:

Overall, a very solid edo. You can choose to avoid the dissonant fifth or embrace it, with both approaches leading to an incredible sound. It's surprisingly versatile, more so than any edo smaller than it, putting it above 7edo.

These edos are very cool and interesting. Just because they don't have very many notes in them doesn't mean they are necessarily limiting. Even 5edo, the most limiting of them all, has much room for expression through its interseptimal intervals. 9edo is especially intriguing to me, as it is the smallest edo with 2 flavors of thirds, making it the first edo to allow for any sort of complex chord movement. It is a beautiful edo that ends up being more versatile than you'd think, along with 7edo and even 8edo.

If you're in the market for edos that approximate simple ratios very well, you won't find much here. Sure, 5edo has a decent 7th harmonic and 9edo has spookily accurate approximations of [[27/25]] and 7/6 among other septimal intervals, but these edos shine in their simplicity. The main appeal here is how compact these edos are, and it's just really neat to think that you don't even need 12 notes to make awesome music.
