May be TW5 can offer an edition where wikitext markup mimic the markdown syntax. It won't be hard, a few regex changes in 20-25 parser tiddlers. That way new users don't have to deal with learning a new markup. If they do not intend to dive deep to use widgets and macros and all, they can simply stick to using just what they want.
I know there are markdown plugins which offer different levels of functionality. However, users have to know about their existence. Plus if I remember correctly, the core markdown plugin keeps the text and metadata in separate files? Like the CSS and JavaScript tiddlers. So that might not work for users like Edgaras who use a markdown editor to create new files, rather than tiddlywiki itself. I don't see any outright negatives in such a move.
