I've been using MS Word with a heavy reliance on Track Changes for years, and I'm converting my technical writing department to use Markdown as fast as I can. I have moved them to the WYSIWYG-on-Markdown editor Zettlr[1], and my non-technical writers have praised it for being "almost-not-techie at all". I can't stand one more MS magic trick to auto-formatting on copy-paste (while mangling half of the styles) or figuring out why some objects simply disappeared or why Word rejects applying some format or layout. When your job is to keep working on expanding the same hundred-pages-long document year after year, you learn every trick to fix the random MS Word bugs and protect your document from being destroyed by the software 20 times a day, and it ain't pretty.
