I tend to use VSCode for markdown as it gives a preview, though I also use Vim for it as well. I pretty much exclusively write any kind of documentation in Markdown these days. Including my own notes.

I tried this Markdown editor. But very quickly decided I didn't like it, I felt handicapped not seeing the markdown and losing Vim bindings. But partly it's because I don't actually really need the visualization of markdown. I'm happy looking at the raw syntax of highlighted markdown. In Vscode I'll open the preview just to check I haven't done something silly. Also, the rendering of markdown in VsCode seems nicer ( perhaps more familiar )

Same here. And the preview, particularly of inline images, is what I like about VSCode for it.

The main thing I like about this editor after trying it out for a little while today is the table stuff. For some reason that doesn't work as well for me in raw syntax as the rest.

I think my ideal markdown editor would basically be the VSCode plugin's auto-suggestion of bullet syntax, the ability to paste images inline and have them land in a specified directory with a predictable path, and a good table editor.

This one does a good job with the tables IMO. I haven't tried it much with images because that didn't really come up today.
