Totally fair, I think. My assertion would probably be restated best as "don't expect straight forward answers to the direct question of what is the best of each." I do specifically called out that network effects were the biggest pro of Markdown, and oddly the biggest con of org-mode. But, my main point in doing that is that I doubt most of the fans of either would list that.

Obviously some of us would, such that I could easily be wrong. Wouldn't be the first time. :D
