There are a couple I have in mind. Like many techies, I am a huge fan of RSS for content distribution and XMPP for federated communication.

The really niche one I like is S-expressions as a data format and configuration in place of json, yaml, toml, etc.

I am a big fan of Plaintext formats, although I wish markdown had a few more features like tables.

SqLite for office formats.

djot for text markup. It addresses a lot of the issues in Common mark (and of course far more of the issues of Markdown).
