Me as well. This is a change that should have come long ago, but it’s good that it’s being investigated.
It’s been a while since I’ve looked, but last I did the popular build systems were not generating javadoc by default. That leaves the vast majority of doc reading through editors or code browsers. I doubt most Java devs even know that Javadoc is HTML.
Moving to Markdown kills two birds with one stone and allows fallback to HTML for the complex cases. I would wager >80% of JavaDocs would instantly look better if they just enabled it by default.
