> Markdown files are slightly annoying to read/preview
Maybe I’ve missed the intentions of markdown, but the ability to easily read the plain text version has always been the killer feature.
Rendering as html is a nice bonus.
I understand there are plenty of useful things to say “but what about…” to, like inline images, and I use them. But they still detract from what differentiated markdown in the first place.
The more of that you add, the more it could have been any document format.
