Is it really that much harder to read than Markdown?

- Headings: Markdown uses #, Org uses asterisks.

- Italic: Markdown uses asterisks or underscores, Org uses /

- Bold: Markdown uses double asteriskes, Org uses asterisks

- Inline Code: Markdown uses backticks, Org uses =

- List items: both use dashes

- Links: Markdown uses [description](url), Org uses [[url][description]]

- Code blocks: Markdown indents each line by four spaces, or some modern dialects use tripe backquotes, Org uses #+begin_src, #+end_src tags
