Using markdown for writing papers is great. This works particularly well when used with gitlab/github for collaboration and CI/CD pipelines to automate spell checking and pdf production. Obviously LaTeX works equally well but the syntax is slightly heavier.
I missed in the article mentioning of reproducible documents. I think the idea comes from the R world where the document contains the code that can be run to produce the outputs for the document. Quarto supports many languages including python and R, uses pandoc to produce the output and can be edited using jupyter notebooks.
