Whoa whoa whoa there.  We're on comp.lang.ruby, so we must use
appropriate ruby logic!

Matz is Nice -> Matz made Ruby -> Ruby is Red -> Redcloth is Red and
Ruby -> Redcloth is Nice!

Tada.

Anyways I think that Markdown, Textile, Redcloth, RDoc (I really like
it!), and all the rest of the wiki style markup syntaxes are an
acquired taste.  I love them because I can focus on what I'm writing
instead of formatting things.  WYSIWIG has some appeal, but how many
times have you tried to make a list in Word and have it do utterly the
wrong thing, or try to not make a list which Word insists will become a
list?

Anyways, in the long run, some people will like markup interfaces, some
will prefer WYSIWIG stuff, but it's really just that, a preference.  I
think that quote was a little short sited, but hey that's probably
because I dig these markup syntaxes.
