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.

AI agents (OpenClaw, Hermes Agent etc) seem to be increasingly standardising their design.
You have a UI for the markdown files writable by the agent (sometimes just Obsidian) plus a set of CLI tools for performing actions.
I've seen so many new CLIs recently too.

Terminad is a really interesting approach to rendering markdown in the CLI. It deliberately doesn't render links, so you can always see both the link text and the URL.
In a browser you have hover to see URLs, but not necessarily in a terminal.
