Beautiful editor, one of my favorites, and surprisingly free and multi-platform: works in Mac OS, Windows and Linux.
Free now, but out of beta, will have some type of pricing model, accd to the site. Just saying.

#52Has anyone found a decent solution to real time rendering of ReStructruedText (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ReStructuredText)?

What a very complete and interesting writeup, thank you for sharing.
I've also recently started using iA Writer, on Win 10 and Android. The program is solid to a fault and extremely well designed, with the flexibility of saving .md files that you can save and export everywhere. Highly recommended!

I have been using IA Writer too, but it doesn't support GitHub flavor markdown. So sometimes when I take content from IA Writer and paste it into GitHub (or even Discourse) the formatting and specifics are off or just not working without massaging things a bit.
For my every day writings and academic pursuits IA Writer does work really well.

#55Been using Typora for almost two years. Really like it. Use cases might be a bit limited.
Using Notion.so on work.

You should check out org-mode in emacs. Fits your main criteria perfectly. :)

#57Is there any JavaScript-free WYSIWYG Markdown editor?
On Linux I found Ghostwriter¹. It's working really fine, I use it for all my personal writings. There is also a port² on Windows but it seems less reliable, I've seen it crash a few times, I still have to report it or try to fix it. ¹ https://wereturtle.github.io/ghostwriter/ ² https://github.com/michelolvera/vs-ghostwriter
Ghostwriter depend on QtWebKit/QtWebEngine, so is not JavaScript-free.

#58Is there any JavaScript-free WYSIWYG Markdown editor?
Maybe this: https://github.com/tcr/edit-text But yeah, most browser based WYSIWYG editors are JS based, since you need to manipulate the DOM. If you are not targeting the browser then you maybe find something here: https://philippegroarke.com/posts/2018/c++_ui_solutions/

Nope, this is not what I expected for:

Yeah the HTML preview is using QtWebEngine, but not the text editor part.
I suppose there is a way to deactivate Javascript execution in QtWebEngine but I don't know enough about it. But given that Markdown allows inline HTML and JavaScript, I don't see how you could have an accurate WYSIWYG representation if you don't have a Javascript engine available somewhere.

#60Also check out the near-identical open source clone, marktext. Typora will no longer be free once out of beta. https://github.com/marktext/marktext
Also, here it is a list with even more alternatives https://www.saashub.com/typora-alternatives
I also love the AlternativeTo as a resource for alternatives:
