Hmm... I actually find it quite usable as is. I do Not write the entire
formula in math mode, opting instead to use that only for the
super/subscripts. It helps to learn the shortcut keys for this (ctrl-m to
enter math mode, cap (^) to go superscript, and underline to go subscript.
You need to hit the space bar to exit either. In this fashion you don't have
to worry about the italicizing of the letters in math mode.
I found after practicing on one or two equations that it worked quite
smoothly for me.
Nice thing about the editor is that isotopic symbols are properly set up
(mass over charge) (you might need spaces in one or the other to line them
up nicely if you get picky about it.. :).
