Big selling point for me. I don’t have to worry about my data getting egressed from an accidental click.

At this point if the spec is defined, export the Markdown to whatever format is required, and the application used to render it is without merit. People use applications to render State and Intent. Both of these are now done, for the moment, through many interfaces and UI/UX/AX. I open Word/Libre about three times a month to view a document. I do not edit it the original application or format except for a recent event of filling out a document via Word form by a non-native country company.

Nothing but praise for this decision. We need more orgs and projects to take this stance.
