If ideas start coming too fast and I need to write more expansively in straight up Markdown, I use the Command Palette to temporarily switch the syntax highlighting. I also edit and brainstorm in taskpaper files in Sublime using the 'PlainTasks' plugin. Though I just remembered reading somewhere on here that you don't use a mobile phone, perhaps? Can't recall, but if so that last bit is moot. I then ruminate on these ideas away from my computer by reading the taskpaper file using 'Editorial' on the iPhone. If I have an idea for a different project than what I'm working on, I use Alfred to launch into the file for the project, dump the idea and return to work. I have a different taskpaper file for each project.

I have clickable links at the top of the file that open the different software I use for a given project (usually Curio, Scrivener, Devonthink, and Sublime Text). Mostly, I use it as a central hub for writing projects – to track story ideas, questions, stuff to fix, changes to track, edit, whatever needs attention. That said, I'm not a particularly powerful power-user, as it were. The power of taskpaper for me lies in the format and that it's open source.

I use it like a swiss army knife, but oddly enough not for daily todo management. I avoid going all-in with org-mode because I already have tools that do what I need them to do and they work just fine. Ironic I admit Mr Fast, some of your posts have sorely tempted me into the emacs learning curve.
