There's nothing wrong with the rich text you just need to learn how to use it!

You can reply at the bottom of a thread if you want to avoid doing any formatting.

I'm not sure what the backspace thing is, but if you want to add a new line without a blank line then you want shift+enter

 I didn't know about the shift enter thing.  The backspace thing is when you're just pressing backspace multiple times to delete a word.  When you backspace the last letter it automatically backspaces the space before the word.  It also doesn't seem to happen every time (or I got when it happens wrong) since it's something I can never reproduce on purpose, only when I'm actually typing a post.  Actually, typing this and trying it, I sound a bit crazy now but I know it happens, it happens to me all the time! :-p

 As for using the the box at the bottom of the screen, I usually do except for when I quote and edit.

There's also the quote boxes.  They are a pain to edit if you only want a certain part of a quote or want to delete some of the not needed nested quotes.  I have a much easier time just using the quote tags.
