I find markdown easy to work with, but the syntax is pretty lightweight and my content is mostly prose. Perhaps WYSIWYG has an edge for more complex formatting? E.g. if a paragraph is largely links it can be much harder to read the markdown source.

I'm not a text supremacist. I've seen fabulous GUIs for inspecting data (database explorers, morphic halos, browser tools). WYSIWYG has a ton of advantages. Yet I can't find a rich text UI I prefer over writing markdown directly. It's less surprising.

"'WYSIWYG' and 'abstraction' [are] antonyms. Editing the artifact and editing the source are [rarely] isomorphic" https://medium.com/@MrJamesFisher/wikipedia-needs-an-ide-not-a-wysiwyg-editor-7acd85b582c8
