I use ReadMe, and I haven't used flatdoc, so correct me if I make an assumption about what it does.
A huge benefit of ReadMe is the document organization and drafting capabilities. I no longer have a bunch of Dropbox folders that I save Byword Markdown docs to.
I can organize things in a reasonably sane way, and when I am writing new docs (think of docs as a living organism) I can write them in ReadMe and decide when and how to publish them.
It removes a lot of duct tape and glue compared to other solutions I have looked at.
I think if your aim is to crank out a few pages of Markdown and host them on a static site generator, other options might be good for you. ReadMe is definitely first class if you want to create a corpus, and present it beautifully without a bunch of extra steps.
