It ‘s famous choice what almost wordpress guy should use. I think the best feature on them is the icon toolbar what help user save time everytime they want to add highlight code. Others you have to use shortcode what is not easy to remember 🙂
Actually, the key thing from this plugin is it work well in editor UI. Other choice with shortcode will mess up the editor so it ‘s difficult to see the overral look when we create a new post.
