These kind of features are completely unnecessary for developers, but are useful for the less tech-savvy team members. The markup is not hidden, so it provides a way to learn some basic MarkDown (good!). That in turn improves communication, which improves your product.
Beware of the fallacy of believing that because someone finds the time to polish their product or add seemingly simple features, they don't invest resources in more complex features or research and development. These are not mutually exclusive goals, even though resources are by definition limited.
- nikolay 11y agoIt's a pipe dream - only technical people use GitHub and this is just a distraction. Instead of trying to keep their core audience in a world with a growing number of alternatives, they are trying to do the impossible - make this a Google Drive. That's why I on purpose used "fugly", because I'm tired of relying so much on unreliable people. But this will change.
