Earlier quoted context omitted.

Atom is too slow. I use sublime text with markdown preview.

I personally use Emacs with markdown-mode. I don't need the preview, really; the whole point of Markdown is to be readable in and of itself.

There's always C-c C-c p anyway.

See also rMarkdown ( http://rmarkdown.rstudio.com/ ) for Markdown supporting LaTeX (and bunch of other things) and its real-time editor editR ( https://github.com/swarm-lab/editR ).

A python like mathematica clone.

I'm another Markdown regular. It's my preferred markup language for online sites (Reddit, StackExchange, Elllo), and the results with only modest site styling are quite impressive (Ello looks _markedly_ better with modified CSS). Sites _without_ Markdown (such as HN) drive me nuts as I'm always tossing in Markdown code and realising (after the edit window's expired) that I effed up.... I've used vi/vim since the late…

QED.

And I knew I was doing it as I wrote it, forgot to clean it up.

Sigh.

What I'd really prefer is that sites simply said "hey, what's your preferred markup language" and offered the choice....
