Choose Markdown Blog if
- You care about the *structure* of the Markdown file (frontmatter, nesting).

Why Developers Pick Markdown Blog
Argument #1: The "Audit State"
Agility Writer is "Fire and Forget." You get what you get. Markdown Blog is "Review and Approve." You see the plan, the sources, and the structure before you commit to the build.
Argument #2: Native Markdown
We don't convert from HTML to Markdown as an afterthought. We build the AST (Abstract Syntax Tree) natively, ensuring perfect nesting, table formatting, and code block syntax highlighting.
