Confluence gets sold directly against Sharepoint. The communications department says, "we need to create a corporate strategy for communicating. Dealing with culture is hard, so instead we're going to go and throw money at mechanism." The contenders are sharepoint and confluence. This sales systems is what ruined confluence - they used to have a delightful markup syntax that was a joy to work with, but in order to get checkbox competition against sharepoint they created an awful broken pretend-WYSISYG.
Asana and Jira joust for dominance in the all-important "issue-based team work management systems" segment. You can hire agile consultants to tell the people how to do their jobs using it. (actually I think Jira is awesome, but I hate that culture)
It speaks well of you that you find this senseless despite your experience.
- underwater 11y agoI'm not the biggest fan of markdowns for complex documents. It's fine for little things like adding bold text or inline code blocks, it as soon as you start getting into anything complex it requires help text and constantly checking of the preview window. Good WYSIWYG editors are much more pleasant to use. Quip, Medium and Facebook notes all do a good job of constraining formatting and being predictable.
