I really like Markdown for actual writing, because its markup for logical structure is quite low-key and non-distracting, and (unlike *roff or LaTeX) it also reads pretty well in source form. Tables are fairly annoying, particularly if I later have to insert a column in mid table.
Use whatever editor works best for you. I use Vim because when I switched from Emacs back in 1999 my wrist problems disappeared almost overnight, a consequence of replacing almost all of the multi-key combinations with single keystrokes. If not for the physiological consequences I would probably still be using Emacs, or an emacslike such as jed or mg. Frankly I think it’s a bit weird that so many people are using an editor with key mappings expressly designed for a (Space Cadet) keyboard that few people ever had even seen in real life, never mind actually used. But evidently people cope just fine. That’s good, I guess?
