Comparing Textile and Markdown really isn’t fair to either one. Textile is designed to make writing XHTML easier with a command set less oriented to using non-alphabetic characters. Markdown wants to convert ASCII by translating traditional visual hacks into proper XHTML. I mean, I guess it’s more of a style thing (do you think in XHTML or ASCII?) but since they’re geared towards different purposes it doesn’t seem like an equal argument.

BBCode, however, just needs to go away. “Don’t use angle brackets, use square brackets. That way I can be a lazy programmer and filter the others out.”

have fun with binary next time…
