Thanks for covering our Markdown launch!

Now, as a developer, I would love to nuke TinyMCE from orbit, but it's not going anywhere until we figure out a visual editing solution that's 1) better and 2) addresses back-compat in a sane manner.

Markdown doesn't really address any of that - I think that the majority of our users will ignore it, but I'm happy to see a vocal minority of Markdown nerds as excited about it as I am. :)
