I don’t understand… occasionally I use markdown and switch to the viewer mode to see it rendered, but most of the time I stay in the editor mode where everything is just plain text.

I do that. And it's not bad. But it still doesn't treat the input/interface strictly as plain text.

I can't remember all the little things that happen, which wouldn't happen in a plain text editor, but if you type hyphen-space, then hit enter, the line is deleted and your cursor stays on that line instead of advancing to the next.

It's a trivial example, but things like that happen.

OK, I can reproduce that on the iOS Joplin app, but not on the desktop app. Weird.
