Even better than Markdown is Org-mode: the latter can do everything the former can do, and has every advantage other than being massively hyper-popular, and it has many, many, many other features (definition lists, scheduling, time-tracking, task-management &c. &c. ad infinitum).
Yes, Markdown is an improvement over Word — and Org-mode is an improvement over Markdown (other than not being as popular).

Of course, this will likely not happen, because people who love Org-Mode also love emacs. But having to learn and use emacs before being able to learn and use Org-mode just means it will never be really popular.
