Thanks @vedranm! I especially like your side-by-side comparison of the process of contributing using Markdown versus reST. It really encapsulates the difference that reasonably seamless tool support makes. I need to look more into MkDocs...
What I like is how easy it is to host MkDocs on GitHub Pages via built-in support, but you can even make it behave like Jekyll with GitHub Actions. Shameless self-plug of another blog post: https://gaseri.org/en/blog/2022-11-01-publishing-material-fo...
