Referring to slack turning on markdown: "shows how deep the love for markdown is in the developer community."
I think I need to call BS here. Typing out a phrase, taking your hands off the keyboard to then fight with wysiwyg is a step back and unusable. What is a max typing speed doing this? I'm curious if anyone can break 20wpm doing that. The mouse controls for formatting are simply not usable for anyone wanting to effectively type above 30wpm
So that aside. I thought markdown was a unification of the absurd number of wiki languages that were coming out. There is tracwiki, wikipedia's, mediawiki, countless more with different variations of markdown. They all have HTML knock-offs because html is overly verbose for quickly typing out a simple wiki page that us mostly lists and headers.
