For technical documentation? Sure, I see how the alternatives make more sense. But for more general use, like formatting shorter posts on forums and social media? Markdown seems quite adequate there, and dealing with any of the listed recommendations would be unbearable for many users. I’m not sure if the article was written for a very specific audience or expected to be read in a given context, or if the author overgeneralises their conclusion to all applications that a markup may have. (In the former case, it just doesn’t work as a standalone piece, in my opinion, so I don’t see much that could be said about it here.) On a side note, the text only glosses over TeXinfo, calling it officially dead based on an e-mail from 9 years ago, while it’s had many new releases since; I’m not sure what to make of that. Would anyone have more insight into that?
