I had experience with AsciiDoc and personally not a fan. IMO it has weird features like totally illegible compact table syntax (seriously, that stuff is worse than XML) and the spec looks abandoned. But I keep seeing it being used, I guess it appeals to people who want something more flexible than Markdown (and who like Ruby, or they would go with RST)
