Interesting, thanks for the feedback. I definitely plan on adding an off switch for Markdown, and will only be going through implementation if it doesn't impact speed/usability in a noticeable way. The plan is to make it a minimal implementation (i.e. keyboard shortcuts only) and barely something you would notice you had.

The reason I'd like to add it is because having switched over from TextEdit and Evernote, the one thing I miss are the Cmd+B,I,Us etc.

Have you thought about a subtle markdown support like a syntax highlighter? Vim does this for example. Bold things get displayed bold with there stars, headings get bold and colored (red in my case). It allows to read the markdown source and have the effect of formatting at the same time.
