I always thought Markdown was just a description of what people were already using in their emails, not trying to be anything more than that.

PS. and without thought I used it above! It seems to work alright for me

pretty interesting read. i don't really have any issues with "markdown" myself. i use obsidian, it works well for stuff i do, like taking notes. i can usually copy-paste my notes into github or bearblog with minimal changes (i don't really use callouts/admonitions).

no mention of asciidoc
