Yep. Preface: I'm a cranky minimalist who would generally prefer reading plain-text-that-happens-to-be-markdown at a 78 col wrap (syntax highlighting tends to give me a headache, and I'm happy to copy-paste URLs as the price for having a document that's lightweight and comfortable to read). Actual point: Dear gods that 4am crack is awful to read, and I'd actually prefer github angry fruit salad in spite of mostly hating the latter. So, yeah, there are virtues to simplification, but it can still be overdone - and while the article we're commenting on was great to me, it probably overdid it slightly - and the link you provide is an unintentional reductio ad absurdum of the approach. (long comment written because I expected to disagree with you until I clicked and went aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa)
