What's a good open source Markdown editor that can switch between WYSIWYG and source code? (lemmy.ml)

I often need to convert rich text copied from websites or Word/odt documents to Markdown, and sometimes vice versa. Is there an open source Markdown editor that lets me simultaneously paste in and edit a document both as WYSIWYG and Markdown source code? Preferably side by side.

I've actually been using the Reddit redesign's Markdown editor for this, since it lets me switch between a WYSIWYG text box and a Markdown source code editor, but that's obviously not at all a good option.

Huh? Nearly every editor can do this. For work, I use Visual Studio Code for that, maybe you additionally need a Markdown Extension, but I'm pretty sure it works out of the box.
