You redefined Markdown support into "only Markdown support." No refunds, sorry. :)*
Absolutely no trillion-dollar company is going to ship a product at scale that's simultaneously obsessed with: Markdown only, non-formatted Markdown, and Markdown.
That's a niche feature available in many code editors, I suggest Visual Studio Code.
* also, note both my and my parent post are proceeding with the premise that perhaps both are desirable, I'm not sure why you felt deceived that Docs didn't become a Markdown-only editor
- lxgr 3y agoMarkdown shortcuts just really aren't markdown, no refund needed, in the same way that supporting j/k keybindings for <- / -> isn't the same thing as Vim. It's about 10-20% of the way there. And Google Docs has already shipped "pageless doucments", arguably a huge break with the paper-skeuomorphic word processor model (that makes it so much more usable on mobile, among other advantages). I really don't think a "light" mode that tones down the WYSIWYG-ness further is out of reach for a company of Google's caliber. > That's a niche feature available in many code editors, I suggest Visual Studio Code. That's completely unworkable for fast-paced collaboration, though, and additionally doesn't give me documents synced across devices. GDocs' conflict resolution capabilities are phenomenal (both between multiple contributors and multiple offline devices); I'd just love to be able to use these with Markdown.
