> The idea is that you can write your blog posts in your favorite coding editor instead of some web form.

What's so hard about using your own editor and when you're done, pasting your text in the web form?

That's how I always used Wordpress, but it's not exactly elegant. You always have to make little edits in a small textarea box. No syntax highlighting. Need to submit the entire article to save (instead of command-s). You lose your cursor position when you save (super-annoying with longer posts). Wordpress doesn't support markdown natively. etc.
