Best for	Docs-heavy teams	Daily ChatGPT/Claude/Gemini users
Who it's not for	Non-technical users wanting a GUI	Occasional converters . free tools suffice

Support quality	Community-only; no vendor SLA	No public support data found
Public sentiment	Reddit and Hacker News users call Pandoc the gold standard for format conversion while noting CLI friction and occasional edge-case glitches.	Unmarkdown is listed on G2 and SourceForge, but detailed independent user reviews and ratings are scarce in public sources.¹³
Biggest gotcha	CVE-2025-51591 SSRF actively exploited to steal AWS credentials . patch immediately¹⁰	Recurring $96/year adds up vs one-time tools like Typora ($14.99 forever).
