alt Hacker NewsThe article correctly identifies the upsides of Markdown, then identifies a bunch of issues that I, as a casual user of it, don't care about.
Then, in the solution section, doesn't identify a solution.
No thank you, I'll stick with Markdown.

I enjoyed how it complained about how unclear and ambiguous Markdown’s syntax for bold and italic text supposedly is, then showed an HTML translation with <strong> and <em>.
The solution is to use any other better-defined languages with a cheat sheet like [1].
If you’re used to CommonMark features, this is all you need.
