The author argues that markdown is the best way to write text. I know many people who argue that LateX is the best way to write text, and they also have arguments.
As a programmer I sometime prefer the world of clickety-click GUI instead that of command line. Doing something in a visual way, requires no knowledge. You just discover how to do things as you do them. Using the command line requires me to learn paths, steps, command line arguments, the order of the command line arguments and also memorize them.
Some times I prefer the command line.
I know that for some folks VI or Emacs is better and more productive and faster, but for me Visual Studio is that and more.
Maybe there isn't one objective truth, and for some persons the command line and text editors is better and for other folks the visual stuff is better.
