I'm fully in agreement that we should use something better than Markdown. I personally use AsciiDoc because I want to produce not just HTML, but XHTML, PDF, manual pages, EPUB, and a lot of other formats.
And, moreover, it provides me niceties that Markdown does not: epigraphs, verse blocks, note blocks, sidebars, dedications, appendices, and colophons.
