On the whole I'd agree. When markdown is done right it's pretty awesome. However I'd still take BBcode over buggy half implemented markdown parsers like the one we have on HN. At least [i] is a less common token than * -- which leads to no end of edits when I've absent-mindedly emphasised something that should have been bullet pointed.
