Atom is very slow to startup, which is a big disadvantage if you are accustomed to using it to make quick changes on your files.

Atom has a relatively high memory usage, especially when compared to some other text editors not based on Electron. For those who develop on the go, this also tends to mean shorter battery life.

Tends to crash or hang with large >(10MB) text files, making it less useful as a general text editor.

Pressing cmd+B, for example, will begin a bold segment of text, but pressing it again doesn't end that bold segment, it retroactively turns the boldness off. This interrupts writing flow tremendously.

No longer free, try and buy

Even though the editor itself works offline, you need internet access to open the website and the editor.

Local storage is limited and if the browser crashes the text can be lost.

In order to publish documents to GitHub, StackEdit requires writing access to your repos, something which many people may not be comfortable with.

Editing a preexisting Markdown document overwrites standard markup in it (for example, interpreting headings marked with leading "#"s and rewriting them with a trailing underscore line), adds extra blank lines between all paragraphs, and adds extra spaces at the head of unordered-list ite...

For example, for navigation it uses the b, n, p, l keys. Which for some people may seem strange. But don't worry, you can change it.

The line in focus in the editor shows a rounded rectangular border around it, which is unappealing and distracting.

Since it's more like a note-taking app (and a note-taking app built for developers) than a Markdown editor, it may be a little excessive to use it only for its Markdown editing features.

Sublime Text protects and copyrights its code and is thus not the freedom-ware some would like it to be.

Sublime Texts offers no way of printing the files it edits.

You can export to PDF or HTML with formatting, but no preview in the Mac app.

On some Linux platforms a binary package for Haskell may not be included in the standard repositories. So, it will be necessary to compile Haskell from source code or find a non-standard package repository, which may seem like a hassle if you don't use Haskell for anything else.

MacDown is not very powerful or versatile. It's not customizable or extendable. This is what makes it so simple, but it's not for people who want more from their tools.

The Markdown preview needs a lot of resources to keep rendering on-the-fly after each keystroke. A single keystroke in the editor panel may trigger up to 5 seconds of max-CPU usage.
