TL;DR Don't use Markdown, use RST (reStrucruredText)

My take: meh.

RST is very comparable to Markdown, and the article makes almost no mention of why it is better. There is a downside, that it has a learning curve because most people are not familiar with it, whereas almost everyone has already used markdown.



Besides, all the good tooling for RST is in Python. So if your project does not use it, it's yet another language.

Markdown is supported everywhere.
