Cons
Con Table of contents gets out of sync sometimes
If you keep the auto-generated table of contents open while you work it gets out of sync, meaning items in the table of contents (at the end) disappear until you restart the program.
Con The way the preview shows images is inconsistent
The preview is a bit inconsistent with images. Sometimes it shows the image correctly, sometimes it shows a blue question mark.
Con Rich text editing mode has incomplete Markdown support
Some Markdown elements don't convert to rich text in rich text editing mode. For example, for emphasis only * will convert, _ will be left as is.
