Personally, I've been using Markdown since a decade, to write notes, create technical documentation at work, create presentations for product demo, and of course this entire blog is written in Markdown. There are limited Android/iOS editors when it comes to editing Markdown on mobile/tablets.Markdown is limited in styling content as compared to document editors like Microsoft Word or Google Docs.Also, not all editors support all the 'flavours'. There are dozens of “flavours” of Markdown as people have extended Markdown to offer the functionality they need, which aren't compatible with one another.It’s not standardised like other markup languages, so you don’t necessarily know how it will be rendered in different browsers or how an editor will display content.Markdown was not originally intended for writing documentation so there could be limitations when you use it.Markdown can be exported to various formats like PDF, HTML, *.docx, EPUB etc.It’s platform-agnostic so your content is not tied to the format of your editor or operating system.

It doesn't interrupt your workflow with the need to click buttons (I am looking at you MS Word).

You can read Markdown easily in plain text before rendered by HTML.

One can write rich formatted content really quickly as compared to writing directly in HTML tags.

Markdown provides semantic meaning for content in a relatively simple way.

If you want to know all possible formatting options provided by Markdown, checkout the Markdown 101 article which I use as a test playground to check if there are any formatting issues with Markdown syntax that I use on this blog. Markdown allows you to write using an easy-to-read, easy-to-write plain text format, then convert it to structurally valid XHTML (or HTML).

Markdown is a text-to-HTML conversion tool for web writers.
