Its comment widget expects raw HTML.

IMO, bugzilla's much like democracy - it's the worst form
of bug trackers, except for all the others.

It's search is great for new users, but horrible when you are trying to
track down something specific that may not be listed in the bug's
content.

For many people, wiki formatting of the text is rarely what they want,
and for others, it's just what they want. I can't tell you how many
times I've forgotten to {{{ ... }}} to ensure the text I paste in isn't
re-formatted. But sometimes I do want wiki format. Maybe if Trac had a
user preference for your default format connected to your login ID.

Trac is fine for a small project. For a big project? It does not even
have an easy way for reporters to list the tickets they've submitted
before.
