Agreed. Writing Markdown in anything else, I often open up Numbers and generate my spreadsheet there with formulas, etc, then export to CSV, then use a CSV to Markdown table converter that fully pads each column to be the same width. Probably an opportunity to optimize this further, but it takes < 1 minute and works better for me than writing Markdown tables of any complexity by hand.

My favorite feature is being able to highlight text and Cmd-V to insert a link automatically.
