(To continue for you)... If you disable the RTE in your prefs the mini-editor (I like to say RTME) defaults to visual mode. The lack of preview isn't that big-a-deal. It keeps me on my toes I admit.

When coding as well as commenting I know this can be tricky but I try to Copy + Paste before I post. Or at least before I post something complex... I haven't lost any HTML tags in a while by doing that. :)
