Serious question: why is this not implemented a Vim/Sublime/Atom/Emacs plugin?
People writing in markdown aren't necessarily developers that want all the extra baggage. Atom already ships with a markdown preview pane as well.
What Markdown is lacking, in my opinion, is a standard that was curated by the community.
The big thing I would like to see in Markdown editors like this is a pdf export. It'd be nice to be able to send a rendered markdown document to people without them needing to open a web browser to view it. There is a similar open source project here: https://github.com/dvcrn/markright
The editor happens to fit in an HTML file <9k (excluding the behemoth browser...:).

We are working on PDF export - it's possible that it will be a part of the 1.0.

What about http://commonmark.org ?

It'd be nice to have it be part of the editor, but `pandoc document.md -o document.pdf` does the trick. http://pandoc.org/getting-started.html
Any Markdown editor worth its salt should have a permanent live preview without having to be pressing Contrl + P all the time. The lack of good desktop Markdown editors used to haunt me, until I started building one my own and realized how poor the support for Markdown in C++ was.
> Any Markdown editor worth its salt should have a permanent live preview Atom has this with the "Markdown Preview" that pops-up with SHIFT + CTRL + M. It does most of what I want today, but still feels lacking.

One thing Caret gets right that other Markdown editors (Macdown is what I currently use) don't is wordcount. In Caret, the document wordcount is always visible in the upper right corner, and if I select some text, the wordcount for the selection is displayed again. Others have mentioned the lack of live-preview as a deal-breaker, but I'm ok with this because of the easy, obvious shortcut. My main purpose with Markdown editors is writing READMEs and blog posts, and I usually don't keep live-preview open as I'm writing.
The one missing feature to keep me from pre-ordering is detection of jekyll YAML headers.
