The claim that Markdown will never go beyond developers is kind of ironic considering markdown was co-invented by John Gruber, a non-developer.
There’s a lot of issues with this post, which basically completely misunderstands what markdown is, what its purpose is, and why it’s successful.
Btw, why are numbered lists so hard in Markdown?

Depending on how you define a markdown user, it may be a that the majority of people typing markdown have never written a line of code but have discovered the convenience of markdown from being power users of Microsoft teams.

A lot of mystery issues that you are claiming but also not clarifying; at least the post attempts to make a case for something. I don't even know why you don't like Markdown's list markup. Give us a hint?
