Wordpress WYSIWYG (TinyMCE) is notorious for bugs - I experienced them first hand - and it's not a website, it's a software people install. Big difference.
I had forgotten about Gmail, so I guess this is the exception to the rules. On the other hand, markdown is supported on Reddit, Stack Overflow, Github, and many more.

It absolutely makes sense to support mark down if your audience is developers. I don't find gmail to be an exception to the rule at all - all the big webmail providers offer full WYSIWYG support.
