I personally prefer that elements which reflect their formatting
literally still retain their markup as well-- so turning the *bold
text* bold is good, but hiding the * marks not so much.

I'm partially switching to Mac. In all honesty, the single program I
can't live without is WM. I've been browsing similar programs on the
Mac, and while some are OK (and at least one seems like a direct copy
of WM in many ways), none of them provide the whole package.

Have to admit that I like some of the Markdown shortcuts in other
programs though, such as Textmate. And, related, some of the features
in this little project:
http://brettterpstra.com/markdown-quicktags-wordpress-plugin/ are
really cool (link completion, etc).
