These are good thoughts. The crux I'm taking away is two-fold: Markdown is great for the developer community, but not the broader authorship community; and the fragmentation of Markdown makes for a rough experience for anyone maintaining Markdown-based tools. I decided to use Markdown for the first implementation of Haven[1]'s editor but I'm definitely keeping my eye on some of these newer block-based systems. There was a Joel-on-software post last month advocating for something similar[2]. One advantage I keep thinking about (but probably over-value) is graceful degradation without Javascript. You can still write Markdown in a `textarea` and submit it in a form. Is there a similar fall-back for these modern editing systems?
