There are so many markdown editors that it's hard to find even the most valuable ones! So please help me and let me know what you are using if you work a lot with markdown :)

VS Code has a really good built-in side by side Markdown editor!
I agree. VS Code + Markdown Preview do a pretty good job for MD editing.
The whole point of Markdown is it's easy to write it in a regular text editor. I use neovim for everything anyway, why switch for a single filetype? It even does syntax highlighting, and there's a plugin to generate a table of contents.
Same here. Vim or Sublime w/ Vintage Mode
However, occasionally markdown breaks the "pure text" model (usually when working with lists). I've tried using a markdown editor but I end up missing visual mode too much.
I'm using Typora on Windows.
I discovered Typora recently, and it's awesome! I use it on Linux.
I love Macdown. It's great for longer writing, although to be fair I don't write that much and don't have that much experience with the app.
It's also open source and would love to integrate a "Publish/Upload to dev.to" button one day -- an idea we've talked about in the office.
Disclaimer: I work for dev.to 🙃
iA Writer is definitely my favorite. It's focus lies 100% on the content as there is no visual clutter, and focus mode is awesome!
I've also tried Caret in the past and it was, and probably still is, also a very reliable choice.
I’ve been using the recent Beta of Caret and it’s been working well.
I use Boostnote. It is markdown based note keeping app. It is also cross-platform and open-source
trying this out now, looks amazing. I downloaded the one on the main site (turns out it was version 0.1.2 lol, hotkeys weren't working, latest is 0.13 and it's miles nicer looking and hotkeys work :D)
Cool, will check out the newer version. Meanwhile you can also check out typora. I use both currently: Boostnote for keeping notes, and typora for creating PDFs with markdown (latex, code blocks, etc.). Typora provides much more interactive experience, while boostnote provides better note organization.
I usually have to write markdown for GitHub Readmes, and since the editor on the GitHub website itself is kinda buggy, I created myself a tiny tool for that.
It has virtually no features (no scroll sync, nothing) but it renders GitHub Flavored Markdown pretty reliably and I use it for that purpose all the time.
That said, VS Code has an amazing extension with a really great preview feature which is objectively better for writing GitHub Flavored Markdown.
I'm a big fan of Quiver on Mac. I mostly use it to store little notes about things I'm working on, but I even use it for writing longer-form stuff like blog posts, etc.
When commenting along coding VS Code might be good enough. When you have to compile large scale, wiki-style documentation sets try Markdown Monster from markdownmonster.west-wind.com/
It's a Pro Tool for Pro Markdown writers and from my point of view, the only one that really shines when it comes to manage hundreds of interlinked *.md files.
Tip: Use Hugo to generate beautiful Websites from your Markdown.
Hackmd for life!
I mostly just use a text editor, like notepad++. When I want side-by-side display, I've been using Atom.js
I use MacDown, which, as the name implies, is a Mac only application. It works nicely for a straight Markdown editor. I switched during a period when Mou ceased to be updated and had some issues (it appears to be a paid tool now).
Obviously, Visual Studio Code is an adequate Markdown editor and even has a decent preview mode.
I'm using Marked 2 and just plain emacs. Turns out having a separate renderer and editor is more productive.
This is what i use in Emacs markdown-mode
So do I. I write a lot of pandoc-markdown and get different formats for my output files with a makefile.
I love markdown for writing a blog, I recommend this one: github.com/hinesboy/mavonEditor
I use GitBook for documentation hosted on the platform, Visual Studio Code and IntelliJ inbuilt markdown editors - depends on the job at hand
Not to plug but I couldnt find any I liked. So I made my own. dev.to/robertjgabriel/writing-gith...
It's about the only thing I use Atom for - the markdown preview.
I'm currently using VS Code's built-in markdown editor. Though this discussion thread has some awesome ones I'd love to try☺
