I know my way around Markdown, but I just don't like it. I'd rather directly see what I'm working on rather than a weird approximation.
(I don't like hidden or direct formatting either, which is why I do sometimes use Markdown)
- agloe_dreams 4y agoThe hidden bit is the key element. The author is way off their rocker. Markdown is easier than word...for someone who has been using Markdown for 10 years. In word you type words, highlight it, and then you have options in front of you. Markdown is memorized formatting, it is bonkers to think people can easily just pick it up in a 'use instead of...' way and just ignorant to assume that memorizing it should be a priority in their lives rather than literally anything else.
