Even emacs has a markdown mode:

It's definitely a workaround, but I use a Chrome extension to work around this a bit. I use "Markdown Here" to add a "turn Markdown text to formatted text" button to my Chrome bar:
https://markdown-here.com/
And then I use it on plain Markdown text in a GMail compose window. The rich formatted output it produces can then be pasted into a Google Doc, and it comes out really nicely, including support for headers, sub-headers, links, code blocks, and the rest. The main issue is that this is a one-way process, but so long as you keep the .md source somewhere else, lets you share a richly-formatted doc with others for final commenting/editing/etc.
