Replace the funny markup with plain old HTML. I hate having to look up the link syntax every single time, because it is completely unlike every other site I use (maybe it’s just like Reddit, but I have blocked Reddit because it is even more of a time sink than Less Wrong).
I’ve got the link syntax pretty much in my fingers now (except for not yet being able to touch-type square brackets), but it was a pain until I had it memorized.
The markdown for quoting and for emphasis is a lot handier than html.

Make this an option in user preferences maybe. I personally find Markdown much, much, much more intuitive than HTML.
