#is someone keeping a shit list of otherwise decent people who are issuing NFTs, so I know who to be deeply disappointed in?

I don't feel a strong need for Markdown in Drummer. I don't understand the recent tendency to shoehorn Markdown into every corner of text. (And then request that it's rendered as WYSIWYG. We already have WYSIWYG here.) I love Markdown, and use it all over the place. But I don't need it if I'm not reusing it or doing specific Markdown-related things with it. I can hit e.g. CMD-b in Drummer and it's bold. I don't need to render it using **bold**. More over-thinking, IMHO. Let it be an outliner, I say.
I missed the discussion around whitespace, apparently, because I'm expecting each node in outline to be a new paragraph. Oh well, I'll catch up later.
That said, it's nice to have the option.
In short, are the short-term gains from using whatever fancy, proprietary features in a tool worth the cost of spending time worrying about lock-in, and the lost time or lost search results when you can't query all of your notes at once?#
Again, I think this comes down to how and when the notes are most useful. For things like my Daybook, I'm convinced that simple text files (Org mode, in my case) are best. They're mostly for searching later. Sometimes much later. No other features are necessary to get value from my notes. ##is someone keeping a shit list of otherwise decent people who are issuing NFTs, so I know who to be deeply disappointed in?
