> Why bother? Just give me an app that can handle nicely markdown files
Markdown (and any other markup) really sucks for anything that is more than just plaintext with some formatting. The best markdown-app we have at the moment are those like Obsidian or Logseq, and they are very low-key compared with a proper richtext-app, like Notion or even a mature word processor.
And looking and the hard struggle of obsidian and their community-plugins, it might be really time to get a proper open richtext-format for the notes-space, to liberate us from markups and their limitations. Maybe something json-based, to bring the notebook-movement into the ring too.
