Pros
Pro No need for a separate preview screen
This was what made Typora stand out in the beginning, its perfect rendering of preview-as-you-type simplicity. It was fast and simple, quick, and just worked the way markdown was meant to be. Unfortunately, feature bloat seems to have set in since and it takes too long to start up to be useful.
