what do you dislike specifically? They've invested a lot of energy into it when last I checked

  They advertise markdown support, the ability to export markdown, and the ability to import markdown... However, what they don't say, is that the export and import format aren't compatible and are different subsets of markdown with different features. If I export a notion page as markdown, then re-import that same markdown document back into notion, I get something wildly different. All I want is to not use the notion editor (which lags and sometimes crashes my browser), and to instead use my local text editor which has served me well for everything else. Failing at that, I want to edit plain text, like I can in github comments or wikipedia pages. Like, the fact that if I write 'foo`', and then go back and edit a backtick in before the word 'foo', it doesn't code-format it, but if I do it in the opposite order and type '`foo`', it code-formats it, makes it very clear I'm not editing text, and there is weird hidden state, which is annoying to reason about. Just let me edit something like markdown directly, with an optional preview window somewhere, and that would _also_ be vastly better than the mess they have.

  That's probably the problem. It's over engineered and just does things I didn't want or need it to do. I just want to type words and paste things in without having a bunch of bullshit happen.
