High praise for Markdown

[Aaron Swartz]

At a party the other night, the author of a client-side GUI weblog
editor with a WYSIWYG editor came up to me. 'Oh, Markdown,' he said.
'Would you believe it? My users are asking me for Markdown support!' I
cheered. 'You cheer, perhaps, but what about me? What could they
possibly want Markdown for when they already have WYSIWYG?'
