[ @JetSpiegel ] Challenge:
(1) write an 8-page (or more) document with 32 (or more) hyperlinks in it in both txt2tags and any other format.
(2) Print out the plain-ASCII source files.
(3) Wait until you forget the whole text of what you've written.
(4) Re-read it (both versions) somewhere without access to a computer/phone/tablet. (e.g. the bathroom)
You will understand why txt2tags makes more sense:
(1) Less markup [i.e. fewer characters] than Markdown, Textile/Texy, AFT, reST
(2) Text-first, unlike AsciiDoc, MediaWiki, PmWiki, Org-Mode, BBCode. Text-first leads to better/easier readability of source ASCII IM(NSH)O.
(3) Unlike POD, has a syntax for named links.
