- "powerfull" (sp)
- "often heard rebuttal" should usually be "often-heard rebuttal"
- "that these programs... are not a true replacement" should be "are not true replacements"
- "It works, most of the time ™️ but can have terrible issues" - "most of the time" should have either a comma on both sides, or on neither - "it works most of the time but can..." or "It works, most of the time, but can"
- But what do we mean when we talk about a “Word replacement”. - missing question mark
- "Libreoffice or Onlyoffice" - in both cases, the "O" is capitalized
- "[they] where invented" should be "were invented
- "what if I told you there is another way." missing question mark
I don't know if it seems to you like I'm nitpicking - I am, but it will extremely strengthen your writing if you nitpick against it for these things. Readers like it when writers appear to have polished their writing sample to an amount of shine, and mistakes like that are one of the few somewhat objective heuristics that are available for their brains to interact with.
It especially undermines your point that Markup is better than Word for the average user, because Word and LibreOffice would have caught several of these issues.
I really like the Comedy Bang Bang podcast for this. Every year in December there are "best of" complications, if you're interested in a good place to start.
