    The problem with Markdown is lack of quality software support. You don’t want to write a book in a text field on GitHub, Lemmy or Reddit. You want to write your book in MS Word or LibreOffice. Existing MD software is, to put it gently, an amazing pile of utter shit. If you’re not a software developer with an MD extension in VS Code, then you won’t use MD for anything.

        These might work for some, but they’re not exactly an MS Word, aren’t they?

          Just as powerful and far less buttons imo. I can write a markdown doc in much less time than a word doc.

          What does word offer that isn’t easier with markdown?

            It offers a familiar interface for people who have used it for many years.

              Yup, that seems to be about all it’s got going for it
