So much this. I think I must be missing something here about the context here, but even then I think it's extremely hyperbolic for the author to make the leap from "I don't like Markdown for [x]" to "Markdown is objectively bad and should never be used in any context." Just look at some of these other examples the author lauds. I've been writing code for most of my life and I find roff's manpage to be absolutely inscrutable. I don't understand the context in which you'd need to pick between roff and Markdown, they seem like they're solving completely different problems for totally different audiences.
