As someone who came to emacs and org-mode after using Markdown on Github
for quite a while as "the default readme format", it's a consolation to
find that Github supports "pretty" formatting of org-mode:
https://gist.github.com/Trevoke/667a02bfbe464c1b9011

Org-mode is significantly more powerful and nicer than markdown. I think
that is part of its problem. Look at Daniel's TODO list on the
implementation of org-mode syntax for Sublime Text:
https://github.com/danielmagnussons/orgmode/blob/master/messages/install.org#features

Another way of looking at it is that markdown is just a subset of org-mode
anyway... :)
