Getting to the point where I don't want to do any kind of extended writing in anything but Markdown.
I can format it in something else later if I have to. But all the GUI tools just get in the way.
This may or may not have something to do with me cutting my word processing teeth on WordPerfect 3.2 and the "reveal codes" key. Markdown feels pleasantly familiar with that.

@MichaelTBacon@social.coop When I was writing for publication purposes I did some similar, but I used TEX. It's a markup language that also supports macros which you can use to speed up your writing, and in the end you can produce a PostScript file or PDF file.
