I find much of the criticism against ("the") Markdown opinion-based. For instance, I hardly can remember whether it is `[http://example.com](foo)` or `(http://example.com)[foo]` in Markdown but I would also confuse `[[http://example.com][foo]]` with `[foo][http://example.com]]`.

In the same spirit, one may like or hate `*` for indicating headings (the choice is really unnatural for me, always thinking of a list).
