This kind of reminds me of the XKCD[0] Standards comic strip. I love writing initial documentation in Markdown because I basically just punch out a text file with line breaks separating my sections/headers and add in some of the markup quickly after I get my content written.

It really is annoying though when I have to be careful about a convention that I'm using if I'm putting a README in BitBucket vs GitHub vs whatever else. Generally, if I'm just sticking to headers, lists, and quotes, I have no problem and everything works and I don't pay it another thought.
