I can understand that. There're so many Markdown editors, choice paralysis easily kicks in.

Markdown ist basically a must have for me though, because I know most applications will be outlived by my notes, and I want to be able to move on to a different editor. To try a new one, or even use multiple at the same time (say, on my phone and on my computer), it's unacceptable for me if I have to export and import all my notes first and risking diverging branches.

In general I think taking notes is a very personal thing many people do every day and they're looking for an app fitting their exact workflow. That's why there are so many options. I was considering writing my own one several times already, although it's probably not worth the time.

The one thing that annoys me is that Markdown is not highly standardized. Seems like every implementation is its own dialect and feature support varies quite a bit.

Yeah that's what happens when you come up with a "standard" and then forget about it for two decades.

A robust export option is what we're all looking for here.

> taking notes is a very personal thing

I agree with that.
