On one hand, it's so nice to have a proper IDE support for markdown and mathjax. But on the other hand, since when Markdown become so complicated that it needs a fully featured IDE?

Indeed, I started using Markdown because it was simple and minimalist and could quickly edit it in vim. In recent years it seems like a lot of complexity is being added to it.
It's not Markdown the format that's complicated here, it's finding effective mechanisms for recall and association in very large collections of notes
Since people want the power of an Office-Suite in plaintext, without using an actual Office-Suit.
