Org-Mode Is One of the Most Reasonable Markup Languages to Use for Text (2017)

And with lightweight markup language, I do mean the syntax, the way you express headings, lists, font variations such as bold face or italic, and such things. But even here you are able to deliver a perfectly fine Org-mode table by simply ignoring the alignment altogether:

This is an almost ridiculous argument because in my opinion a markup is of no use when it is not the same for tool A as for tool B.

However, there are markup languages that are different. And in case the user already used a markup language with simple prefix headings, it is not logical why there is the need for the postfix characters at all.
