I think Markdown is great for what it is, a simple way to mark up text with some simple html, in a way that's still easily readable as plain text. I dislike most extensions to markdown, since the point, for me, is simple use cases only.

Haml is almost the complete opposite IMO, since reading a document formatted with Haml does not result in elegant plain text, and it's not designed specifically for simple use cases.

This mixture of the two really irks me, as a result.
