The ability to toggle between markdown syntax and HTML on a per-paragraph basis is an awesome feature! I often prefer the HTML/wysiwyg version but have to occasionally insert something complex which is trivial in markdown. This hits the sweetspot!

aren't these rather crazy terms for a text editor ?

Those terms are for the site, not for the text editor. :-) I might open source the editor when I have time.

It does not force you to use mouse click on GUI elements. You can use `⌘`+`/` (or `Alt`+`/` on Windows) to switch between WYSIWYG/Markdown modes. Actually it's the preferred way unless you are on mobile devices. The default mode is WYSIWYG since Markdown syntax frustrates people who don't know Markdown well. Thanks for mentioning Typora! It's an interesting implementation. I've thought about that approach (in-place r…
Fun fact: there's no "/" key on the German keyboard layout (and possibly others too): to type "/" you need to press Shift + 7.
Ditto Finnish, which is why I hate typing on my wife's keyboard!

#25My favorite model for editing markdown is the one that usecanvas.com and FoldingText (an OSX app) use.
They present the document as WYSIWYG with markdown hidden, but unhide any markdown surrounding or directly adjacent to the cursor. (So the markup from an italic or link span are only visible if you are adjacent to or within the span.)
It's a nice balance between looking pretty and letting me edit markdown directly. I'd love to have an open source editor library that acts like this.

You can't change your keyboard at work? That's odd... Where do you work?
Large org, windows, non admin rights. Don't have the rights to plug non approved usb devices. I can't even use another text editor than the one I have. All those 'vim vs emacs' war-jokes make me laugh. What I wouldn't give to use vim... I can change the software layout, but as I said, I don't know enough the sublayers of the qwerty layout to be able to type without looking.

#27I must admit that the way Jupyther/ipython notebooks do markdown is my favorite.
It has all the markup showing, and italize, boldens and changes size of text according to the tags, as well as color coding.
