Markdown was a hype in late 2010s that has cooled down due to chatbots.

In turn, chatbots pump up markdown by making it the default output format.

I've felt the opposite. With MD being the preferred planning+documentation output for LLMs, the time of "hype" seems to be now. It seemed just a few years ago that devs hated writing properly formatted markdown.
