I migrated from mediawiki to markdown in git 8 years ago and never looked back. The ability to publish to any number of static site hosts, and use any number of editors, some that have preview mode, is rad. Data liberty, data portability, wide support, easy to convert, easy to grep, good enough for 95% of written notes.

My biggest gripe is poor support for tables of data.

Ugh tables are really the killer. If my editor doesn't support tables then I avoid them like the plague.

What do you mainly use that supports tables?

[–] pebbles@sh.itjust.works 2 points 15 hours ago

I use obsidian. It have been pretty happy with it's table support lately. It used to be much worse.
