Fast Answer: Why Markdown Outperformed Rich Text

Traditional WYSIWYG editors (like Microsoft Word or TinyMCE) generate bloated, messy HTML full of inline styles (<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14pt;">).

Markdown stores content as plain, human-readable ASCII text that can be version-controlled in Git, rendered statically by modern frameworks (Next.js, Astro), and styled consistently using CSS.
