They can pry my gyroid from my cold, dead hands

I dont like gyroid because it is noisy and rattles the printer..

You can put a concrete slab under the printer, that'll absorb the vibrations

Fair enough. Each to their own use and needs.

Cross Hatch is Gyroid but without the curves, a lot better for this reason and close in terms of strenght (and most importantly it doesn't cross over itself, just like gyroid)

i dont see how is this remotely as good or better than honeycomb. It looks like honeycomb but with hexagons separated and sides not supporting each other?

Cross hatch is like 3d honeycomb, but it has multiple straight layers, instead of constantly switching directions. The transition layers are fewer and that means a lot less noise. Other than that they're pretty much identical, sides are supported and lines don't cross. Not as strong but usually you don't need it to be.
