I suppose the point is everything markdown plus LaTeX for anything fancy (+maths) that markdown does not support.

Markdown is easier to use. Markdown extentions like Rmarkdown (Inc. R Notebooks) are a pleasure to use.

markdown is easier to use, but only slightly easier if you already know latex. and if you use latex regularly, switching between markdown and latex syntax on the fly seems strange.
