Inline code was conspicuously missing in the comparison, which is more unwieldy in asciidoc (requires backtic and plus instead of just backtic). That’s probably the markdown feature I use most often.

You only need to use backtic and plus when you want to disable text substitutions (a concept that does not exist in Markdown).

Most of the time, using backtic is enough: `text`.
