Posting Code in Word Press

Maybe it’s just me, but I find Word Press somewhat lacking when it comes to being able to post code examples. Am I missing something? Why is it such a hassle? I can’t just cut and paste in my code. Instead, I need to replace all < and > with &lt; and &gt;, and all quotes need to be replaced with &quot;. It’s a pain in the neck.

Also, if I post preformatted code examples, it tends to break the WordPress layout, particularly in IE.
