I think the basic idea behind ReST is quite good, i.e.
understanding as markup various typographical conventions
that make sense in plain text, such as underlined
headings, bullets, numbered paragraphs.

Unfortunately it went overboard with a slew of cryptic
codes for footnotes, hyperlinks, etc. that nobody would
naturally think to use in a plain text document.
