I agree, that's what I thought was the point. The reason I like using Markdown is because it actually sticks to that promise quite well. I write Markdown every day. I use it to take notes, to write blog posts, write documents, everything. In fact, because of Pandoc (and a little bit of LaTex), every document I've written in the last year and a half I have written using Markdown. Through all of that writing, I've never used any kind of special editor or highlighting, just a plain text-editor. Now I have about 30 more pages of Markdown I've got to write today.
