“Am I missing something, or is it that you just get used to putting in all the extra characters needed for text formatting and linking?
On the surface, there is a certain allure to these programs, because of their simplicity”
I had a similar experience. On surface, it looked promising, but in the end, I decided not to use it given its “quirks” regarding text formatting. For instance, I found the idea of date note interesting, but then I discovered that I have to remember how to enter the date format correctly in order for it to work.
At one point, I had a lot of time on my hands to learn a new formatting system, but now I just want to jot down notes, memos, or scribbles w/o having to think about “formatting.”
Perhpas I’ll get used to its unique system, but for now, I don’t have time to invest. Perhpas developers can simplify this, and then perhaps I will try it again.
