No HTML support

I can use HTML in comments, but not in blog posts or in my user profile.

In blog posts I'm forced to use the JavaScript formatting tools which, while they mostly work, they don't work 100% of the time. I don't understand why I can't just type out my own HTML. It's easier and much faster.

See, to emphaise "much" in my previous sentence, I had to move one hand from my keyboard to the trackpad, find the cursor and move it up to and click the (non-semantic) "I" button, go back to the keyboard to type the word, then click the button again before continuing to type. Meanwhile, I could have typed "<em></em>" in about one tenth the time with no additional muscle movement.
