You're like one of these people who would see nothing wrong with throwing your whole meal into a blender before eating it since it's essentially the same thing.

That analogy makes no sense because (a) you're talking about aesthetics and (b) no self-respecting programmer would leave < > un-escaped. Not to mention, you can make up your own BBCODE tags such as the spoiler tag. Instead of creating a huge mess with HTML. I suppose you could do the same with escaped HTML, but then you've completely missed the point of allowing HTML tags in the first place.

Yeah, it is. The only upside of using something else than sanitized HTML is that you can do [spoiler] and not <span style="..."> or <span class="spoiler">.
What the FUCK are you two talking about? It's like you're both deaf but talking anyway, like two old ladies. You're both talking about two different things. Learn to comprehend or stop being such ignorant pricks.

99% of forums only need Markdown support. Just use fucking Markdown instead of retarded tag based schemes.

On the other hand, nobody uses proportional fonts, and < can be typed with only one key, unlike [, on most keyboard layouts, rather than just the one you arrogantly consider ``standard''.

on most keyboard layouts != on most keyboards

most computers run operating systems that allow you to change the keyboard layout without having to use a different keyboard. any keyboard layout = all keyboards

ad. ad. 1 You aren't going to nest tags in tags anyway, right? So there's no problem.

Yeah, I should've s/something else/BBCode rather/. I'm all for markdown and stuff like that, makes you type less characters.
