There are a couple I have in mind. Like many techies, I am a huge fan of RSS for content distribution and XMPP for federated communication.

The really niche one I like is S-expressions as a data format and configuration in place of json, yaml, toml, etc.

I am a big fan of Plaintext formats, although I wish markdown had a few more features like tables.

Depending where you use it, but often tables are available in markdown.

markdown table
x y 
 |markdown|table|
 |--|---|
 |x|y|

Fixed..cos you could only see rendered and not code.

    Oh. Good one. Markdown everywhere. Slack always pissed me off for it's sub par markdown support.
