They're currently trying to force this into pull requests in Bitbucket. Right now you can revert to the old-style pull requests with Markdown support, but that is going to go away once the new system is out of beta. I really regret going with Atlassian here; I would have advised against it if I knew about this. I will definitely advise against it in the future.

This is why I heavily advocate for not using Atlassian products. I use the "can't trust Australia" statement as a supporting argument but the terrible editor is what started my crusade. My company uses Jira but I do all my tracking in Clubhouse. We have Confluence but most of us write docs in Google Docs because it's less painful. I recently got us moving away from Bitbucket too. If Slack stands by this change (like they did with removing the IRC bridge), I'll be pushing hard to get rid of it before we start growing.

  100% agree that Clubhouse > JIRA. If I hear a company uses JIRA, I will actually question whether I want to work there.

    Can you recommend a replacement for Jira that can be self-hosted? Many companies cannot store their data on a third-party server.

      There's at least Redmine. Uses Textile by default, but there were plugins for Markdown.

        Redmine nowadays also comes by default with Markdown. Menu Administration -> Settings -> General tab There's a drop down for Text formatting which you can set to Markdown.

    My organization uses all of Atlassians products. Every time I as for a sane alternative and get shot down I question whether I want to work here.

I work on this specific issue at Atlassian. Can you email me at jcolli2@atlassian.com to talk more, would love to discuss your markdown use cases for things like comments.
