the author could've done a much better job doing a post comparing how easier is go use MD instead of Tex. in the end, as he has pretty limited knowledge of tex, no one could argue with him or ask for solutions for some features presented in tex that md, rtf and others do not have, for example, the tex embedded programming language is great to create flows, graphs, and other algorithmically representations. it is also good for creating 2d and 3d graphs without relying on other tools and referencing back in the text.

I guess the point is that tex is not for him. if you don't write books, papers, articles, scientific work.

I do also think tex is overly complicated for the basic stuff, but depending on the work you're doing, beamer may be much easier than powerpoint.

each tool has its uses. this tool isn't just for you. let it be. I would recommend the author to not write this kind of posts again.
