Well I just visisted LW 2.0 for the first time in a while and the new comment editor… I’m sorry but it’s really, really bad. Markdown that is automatically converted into rich text, or automatically displayed as rich text, or whatever is going on… how does one work with this? How does one edit this sensibly? I have no idea. I mean I’m sure some people want a rich text editor, let them have it, but for the rest of us please let us just turn this off. And just write in Markdown so we have full control over what we’re doing. Ideally there would be a preview thing—separate from the text we’re editing. Combining it all into one is a horrible mess where I don’t actually know how to edit anything.
Also: I don’t think blockquotes are really recognizable as blockquotes. I’d suggest making them more distinct somehow.
