While I've been happily using Slack's pseudo-markdown for a long time, a lot of the less technical users on our slack have never posted messages with any formatting, which makes things like copy-pasted error stacktraces a pain to read.
Yay if we get more formatted messages on slack, and not just from technical users that have learned markdown.
Nay if I have to struggle to get my messages to format the way I actually want them to format. Having the new WYSIWYG editor show me the wrong formatting while editing doesn't make the new experience any less painful.
Slack formatting UX is now different from GitHub. Having to deal with Confluence/Jira formatting was already terrible enough - I now have to figure out how to type the same things three different ways.
