This is meaningless. MODx is not a democracy and if it was, 25 people who visited a thread called "Syntax Highlighting for snippet, plugin, module and chunk editing using EditArea" and placed a vote would not constitute a quorum.
I’ve not voted, but my vote would be with the "If you want it, add it yourself." crowd.
Of course MODx is not a democracy, rather an open source PHP Application Framework. You’re absolutely right. My intentions were only to provide a high-level representation of the involved users’ opinions regarding this plugin and their experience thereafter. I’m sorry you felt my statement regarding ’76% of the community’ was referencing the entire MODx following--I was not. I obviously meant a percentage of the users who even bothered to voice their opinion in the poll. I have updated my post to more clearly indicate the percentage referenced only those users who have been involved...

Is it stable yet?
Please note that a few of the instabilities posted have been directly related to the plugin/implementation, and its relationship within the MODx framework. (e.g. Tested on incompatible/outdated MODx revisions, typos, etc. ) We have also discussed issues regarding MODx Resource Wizard implementation techniques as well.
As far as EditArea is concerned, it is indeed stable enough to be used and labeled as ’production-ready’.
As of EditArea 0.6.2 (plus latest MODx SVN), most known issues are now gone. Are there any specific stability issues that haven’t been addressed?
I was not aware EditArea did not work in Safari
According to the compatibility chart on the author’s site, this definitely is
not defined as compatible, although it appears anything related to a Mac is also untested...
I am interested, does CodePress provide multi-lingual support? Also, I don’t believe codepress offers bracket-matching or line-highlighting, but am not sure...

I can’t see it being pre-packaged before it’s stable. I should point out that there’s talk of multiple packages in the future, so there could easily be a "MODx with EditArea" amongst the versions.
Optionally-packaged release versions, eh? Sounds intriguing. Another reason I like this suggestion is that it allows for the core-code of MODx to remain unaltered (Raw), but would still provide alternate options to its end-users.
Good thing MODx is as great as it is! Whether we ever see MODx pre-packaged w/ any form of syntax highlighting or not, at least we know users who want codepress can add it themselves. Same goes for users who would prefer to use EditArea...
IMO, everybody else is simply missing out
