Its good because its multi-platform but they take the simple idea too far. After using up the dash and the asterisk, I ran out of ways to differentiate between titles, subheadings and lists.
Does the bold, underline and italics function really take away from the simplicity of the app that much to justify not including them? Not in my opinion. I switched to Quip.
