Just use restructured text (rST) already.

No, asciidoctor! Asciidoctor is the most intuitive markup format there is (except maybe Pollen, but that’s a non starter for most people).

Also, rST can’t even do bold italics.

Yeah, the lack of nested formatting in rST is crazy. For me it's annoying I can't just do a simple monospace formatted link in pure rST. Sphinx helps a bit with that depending on what you want to link, but it's not really controllable at the rST level like it is in other markup.

Yes... I do like asciidoc. Think it was lack of easy toolchain in python ecosystem that made me move away from it.

Maybe asciidoc3 har improved the situation.

Never needed bold italics. :)

Nothing beats org-mode.

If only I could have it in any other way than emacs...

[jsilence]

Makes me wonder, since there is evil mode and opinionated Emacs disributions like Spacemacs und Doom Emacs, whether there is a potential for an org-mode focussed and optimized Emacs distribution.

Ease of use should be one of the core goals, then.

[cfjgvjh]

I would love that but then again org-noter and pdftools compliment base org-mode nicely.

Yeah, Org mode has supported footnotes since 2008:
