Question Ranking
Pros

Quiver is a notebook and note-taking app akin to Evernote which happens to also be able to edit Markdown files. As such, it has a lot of useful features such as: image support, file attachments, web content support and more.

Has syntax highlighting for more than 120 programming languages.
Pro Notes can be linked to each-other
Quiver notes have unique links that can be copied and pasted into other notes to gain quick access between them.
Pro Live preview
Quiver has live preview for both Markdown and LaTeX. This helps users to better understand the way they are formatting their files.
Pro Cloud syncing
Dropbox, iCloud Drive, Google Drive, or any other file-based cloud services.
Pro Supports vi keybindings
For people used to vi keybindings, Quiver can be set up to work with them.
Pro Combination of different types of writing in one note
The most outstanding thing for me. Use HTML line breaks while writing MD text.
Also, unlike most hybrid editors like Bear, it supports instant image sizing and respective preview.
Pro Free and open source
Source code is available on Github.
Pro Supports a lot of languages
C, C++, C#, CSS, HTML, Java, JavaScript, Lua, LaTex, Python, Ruby, SQL and more.
Pro Easy to setup
Codeit is really quick to load and pretty simple in terms of UI, so setup is a minute max. It's a web app, so it weighs nothing on your phone too.
Pro Live view
If you're editing a site and want to see how it looks, you can swipe up from the bottom edge and see it live, without any hosting, you can share these previews as well.
Pro Consistency
Codeit is available on Windows and macOS/iOS as well as Linux and Android, and looks the same on all platforms. The editor is pretty simple and you don't have to get used to new code editors every time you swap platforms.
Pro Supports 200 languages
Cons
Con You can't edit specific files, they must be in your notebook
Con No iOS apps for editing, only a viewer available
I'd LOVE to edit and create quiver notes on my iPad!
Con The line in focus shows a border around it which is distracting
The line in focus in the editor shows a rounded rectangular border around it, which is unappealing and distracting.
Con Much more than a simple Markdown editor
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.
Con No multiple accounts
It would be useful to add more than one Git host account to Codeit.
