I am currently working on the Nelder-Mead algorithm. I did not realize that it is that popular. This gives me motivation to implement it soon ;-)

If there are more "must have"-algorithms you could open an issue in Gradient-Free-Optimizers.

I like it because it was so easy to implement and it worked well, unless your objective function had very narrow and steep valleys.

I don't know if it's popular, heheh, it's been a while since I've been in maths school, so that's why I'm asking.
