Yes. The main use case I have for markdown is: * reading documents in the terminal (like man pages) * note taking In both those instances the less auto-formatting that the editor does the easier it is for me to use the use the file format. I’m sure you can say that editor auto-formatting isn’t an issue because people manage fine on MS Word. But the point is I want as little distractions as possible when not taking but I also want to be able to add headings and code snippets. So wrestling with an editor when it gets its formatting rules in a mess is the exact opposite of productively. Eg take a look at the number of authors that still use DOS editors for similar reasons.
