> Personally I like restructuredText as the preferred format for content as its a complete specification and plain text.

I have used rst intensively on a project. A few years later, I would be hard pressed to write anything in ti and would need to start with a Quick Start tutorial. With all its faults, Markdown is simple enough that it can be (and is) used anywhere, so there is no danger of me forgetting its syntax (even if it wasn't much simpler to star with).

So personally I would prefer md over rst anytime.
