Nope, that's fine.

It really isn't a WYSIWYG editor, though. :p

Some have called it the WYSINWYG (What You See Is Never What You Get) for the reasons you showed earlier.

Just don't use the WYSIWYG editor and you'll be fine. You'll find yourself typing the and other tags quicker than pressing the buttons! ;)
