I'm all for pushing the boundaries of syntax with Babel, but frankly this looks horrible. Is there an appealing reason to use this? I could see it being interesting to render Markdown (like from a CMS) at runtime, but at compile time there's not much benefit over JSX right?

It could be very useful for docs sites, blogs, coding books. Anything where ease-of-authoring is the highest priority. You could maintain it in markdown but also inject your custom components for examples or bits of interactivity.
