I agree. The "code" in the example page is, to me, easier to understand than the "human-readable" output. For me, it's about spacing efficiency (I can see more at once), formatting (e.g., italic is not as easy to read as roman faces), and color (green on grey? huh?). But I've always been a fan of plain-text in general. I'd much rather use plain-text markdown than MS Word, or edit code in plain files as opposed to an IDE. Plain text, to me, is much more WYSIWIG than any GUI tool I've used. But I understand that not everyone thinks the same way.
