I never use markdown. And any alternative with the name emacs in it runs into my prejudice wall. Why? I managed a bunch of Sun workstations with next to no memory. Emacs, regardless of its virtues meant Emacs Makes A Computer Slow. To this day, my two forums of interest, including HN, use some obscure markup or "punch this button to bold your selection" or the Fuggedaboutit language (plain text). I would work much better composing in an editor, wysiwyg is fine, with back and forth to the abominable text box. I hate text boxes. I often lose the entire contents with a network hiccup (ghost text does not work on mobile). I am not some spoiled kid. My first computer input was rocker switches on an IMSAI 8080. Computers got smarts to make life easier or harder. People continue to choose (code) poorly.
