Your criticism of the criticism is disappointing too. Because you "can't understand why you'd want to edit raw markdown" means you don't understand the audience. I edit in raw markdown because it's faster for me, especially when I need to make changes and it's 100% predictable. I can't understand why you'd want to edit in a WYSIWYG when the end result reflects the stylistic and user experience whims of some development team.

See how that works? Markup is always predictable, keyboard shortcuts have to be learnes for every new system and if their keyboard shortcuts aren't sufficient and I have to touch my mouse, then it's a bad product. (I'm looking at you, Atlassian. Always looking at you.)
