The big advantages of asciidoc are:
* more comprehensive markup (e.g. tables, definition lists are supported as standard)
* generation of pdf and epub is part of the standard toolchain
Markdown is great for short docs, but I quickly ran in to the limitations when building
more complex documents.
GitHub’s support for asciidoc wasn’t great to start with, but I think the fixed it more
recently. Before you abandon it, point me at the problems, I can take a quick look.
I prefer asciidoc links as you just do link:http://redhat.com[Red Hat’s website]. I find
this much easier to remember than the weird []() syntax in markdown.

in the
