I should add that these are the ones I have looked at so far (only briefly, please correct if something does not look right):

Brackets | Plugin | N | Plugin | N |
Sublime | Plugin | Plugin | Plugin | N |
Atom | Plugin | Plugin | Plugin | N |
Texts | Y | ? | Y | Y |
RStudio | Y | Y | ? | Y |
Not sure about citations, but have you tried Ghostwriter?
Thanks @QuLogic! Yes, I actually used that myself for a while a few years back (together with abricotine). I remember it being quite nice but I don't think it has citation support or much in terms of documentation for writing academically (I clarified that in my initial comment, I guess one could always point to the Rstudio docs for that since much carries over). I saw that GhostWriter have built-in export support also, nice!
No I haven't seen that one, thanks for sharing! It seems to tick most (maybe all) the boxes, have you had a good experience using it yourself @hueyy ?
Poll for everyone who uses markdown for academic writing, which editor do you use and do you think it would be suitable for novices? The key features I think are needed for a novice friendly editor include the following:
The only editor I have found that meets these criteria so far is RStudio (I think, not sure about the citation insertion), which is a great choice, but I am curious if there are others since RStudio is a rather big install if one were to use it just for writing markdown.
