I get your point, and somewhat agree, but I think it's important to remember that the two (feature updates to Terminal and Notes vs. stability/performance/etc.) aren't typically mutually exclusive; the developer that would implement Markdown support in Notes isn't likely the same developer that would be implementing performance/stability enhancements to the core of the OS.

Each new “nice to have” feature requires QA testing time that steals away from potentially more important things. Nobody writes bug free code forever, so I’d rather they focus on the very important issues and make sure they are solid before adding nice to haves, especially ones easily solved by other existing apps.
