I strongly support this suggestion. It would make CintaNotes much more attractive to developers and other tech-minded users. You need to look no further than GitHub or StackOverflow, where every text form is a Markdown editor. Both are hugely popular, and I fear their choice of text format influences other software and services so much that CN risks to become less and less attractive for that ever-increasing user segment as time goes on.
I really hope you would consider this feature for implementation one day. Maybe as a switch in the options for new notes, if set to Markdown they would have a "source/preview" toggle near the top with a keyboard shortcut and a slight bg texture difference for the editor to distinguish between the current mode. Add to that the ability to convert existing notes back and forth between formats, and it would be perfect.

Simplenote also supports it (isn't there already some code in CN related to this?). The lack of Markdown is currently listed as a con on Slant. RTF seems to bring some issues with Linux/Wine support. One recent app comparison lists the lack of Markdown as one of shortcomings of CN. Another review for a similar app for Mac describes Markdown as a major feature.
