良いエディター / Good Editor
Markdown用の非常に良いエディターです。UIがシンプルで、直感的な編集ができます。また、シンタックスハイライトもされていて、そこもまた良いです。ですが、現時点で取り消し線の書体がバグって書けないのと、機能が少なすぎるためそこだけ少し不安です。 This is the great editor for writing markdown I've ever seen! UI is simple, so you can edit an article intuitively. And this has a function that is Syntax Highlight! It is also a good point for me. But, I am concerned because I can't write a text of strikethrough by the bug, and this has only limited functions.

all text become one line after post
Although it is a pretty good editor, all newline char disappear after you post the post is annoying. I can't help but deactivate this plugin to edit my old post. hope author can fix this problem, thanks.

Great editor, but...
Probably the best Markdown editor I've seen in a WordPress plugin. But after publishing my post I noticed the line number column takes up half of my code block's width, and the text color was too dark for my dark themed site to be able to read. I'm using this plugin with the WordPress Twenty Fifteen theme's 'Dark' settings. Also, it would be nice if the markdown syntax persisted in the editor after saving the post rather than showing the generated html.

The markdown editor I've been looking for
I've been looking for a good markdown editor for a long time. I've been testing it out for a while now. I love it! A few things I wish it did. I wish I had a switch to go from classic mode to markdown mode or that I could select if I wanted it on pages and posts or just one or the other. Super clean interphase. I like the full-screen mode. It was a nice touch I look forward to new updates.

Good basic markdown editor
More or less exactly what I wanted. Full-screen side-by-side markdown support in 2017 without having to constantly press the preview button. Main gripe is that autosave does not appear to work, and all it takes is a backspace press while the focus is away from the edit box to lose it all (as I discovered the hard way)! Even if it just popped up the standard browser notification to say the content hasn't been saved it'd be a massive improvement. The preview doesn't show the real styling, but if I cared I wouldn't be writing in MD! Another minor point, the editor wraps code blocks, while the preview window doesn't. It'd be great if it was consistent and didn't wrap in the editor (although I imagine this might be tricky...?)
