MacDown. Stay away from Mou. Very sketchy author. He did an Indiegogo campaign after essentially abandoning the project and failing to sell it and hasn't updated in 6 months after taking $25,000 from backers[0][1][2][3] He also raised the price of the product because "There're too many pre-orders. We decide to raise price to reduce the sale."[4]

Brilliant post, thanks for the information. I had no idea that Mou was so sketchy! As it turns out, I've stopped using Mou because some of the functionality is quite buggy (e.g. it appears that the "save" function executes in the control thread and uses a blocking save operation - because the application freezes for several seconds when saving).

On your advice, I've now switched to MacDown and I'm really very pleased with it indeed.

Thanks again!
