OK, I’ve resisted commenting on this for nearly a week now, but I find this 
statement extremely odd.

I can’t understand why anyone would hate markdown. I mean, I can see not using 
it, but since all it is is a quick way to write something that will become HTML 
without littering your text with HTML I don’t understand how it could possibly 
enrage anyone to the level of hatred.

A markdown file is perfectly readable to someone who has never heard of 
markdown, which is a huge advantage over most formats for text files. It’s 
portable, the interpreter for it is dead-simple, and it’s widely supported.

And I say all of this as someone who very rarely uses markdown.
