vim is pretty beautiful.
I think wanting a "beautiful" graphical Markdown editor defeats the purpose of the format.
It's supposed to be used as plain text while writing. Rendering to HTML when writing is finished is an added bonus.
https://github.com/marktext/marktext is quite pretty and capable.
Org mode with markdown export through pandoc
Export to markdown is available, though depending on the version it's not visible in the export list initially (it shows up after you manually call the export function). 'ob-md-export-{to,as}-markdown
I've had good results with https://typora.io/ writing articles a couple of years ago. It was free when I was using it because it was in beta, it's now $15. If I needed to write in markdown more regularly I'd probably buy it.

True, but I often have to format for github and it's simply easier to have pandoc within my flow to do things like not escape underscores, control heading levels etc.
Nota - https://nota.md. It's a notes app but a lot of our users use it as a markdown editor. Nota is quite powerful as a markdown editor. It has a lot of smartness built into it.
Caret - https://caret.io. We started with this - a beautiful Markdown editor. We aren't implementing new features for it but if you are on Windows or Linux it might be worth trying out. We still have new users coming in.
A common feature of the two is that they both are pleasant to use. We've put a lot of hard work into the UX (which is also hard to market and one of the reasons why you probably haven't heard about us).
I enjoy Obsidian [1] daily. Perhaps more than a minimal editor, but very powerful overall. [1] https://obsidian.md/
By this criterion, MarkText seems to be great. As others said Typora is similar but not OpenSource.
Nota is nice but has no side by side preview pane.
VSCode + markdown plug-in is good — not sure if it supports math. I also like the Marp plugin for making slides in markdown (it does have math)
