I am not a fan of markdown, but I think it shines in niche uses. For instance typing two "*" or 5 "<>/" are a completely different experience on an iPad for instance. For a sublime text plugin it seems irrelevant, but if you edit your files in different environments it's a boon. It's also a lot more parseable and sanitizable than html, and doesn't need much escaping when moved around.
