wordpress sucks for code

I’m amazed at all the problems I had with trying to post a simple code in wordpress, wasn’t this made by programmers? didn’t they sit down and said hey lets make it good for people who posts code!

• To start with your supposed to write a block (please note I had to use entities for that to work),
• or pop up the raw html thingy.
• or install a pluging

now that plugings page for “syntax highlighter” at least half the links are broken and from the rest half seem to be from wordpress 1.5.
