Is there an alternative to mathmode to insert chemical formulas like $C_6H_{12}O_6$.
In Herberts help pages I found a few tips about chemical drawings, but not about this
issue.

only a small portion of human perceptions.

I am aware of none. Actually, after I had used mathmode for a bit, I got
used to it and like the way it outputs certain symbols commonly used in
classes (eg. atomic symbols with mass and atomic numbers, or something like
the diatomic mercurous ion). It is even nicer using mathrm (something I
didn't know about for years :( ) since text is then already non-emphasized.
Equations are pretty good, too. And probably faster if you learn how to
enter various arrow types from the keyboard (instead of the math panel).
The longer keynames can be defined with shorter names in the preamble if
desired (eg. \leftrightharpoons becomes \eq [_eq_uilibria in my book]). The
one thing I do in equations is to add spaces between formulae and other
symbols (arrows, plusses, etc.). Purely personal preference.
Deliberate alignment of sequential equations (eg. thermochemical ones I use
in various Hess' Law problems) can be done either in tables or using the
ctrl-enter thingy while in math-mode. (Ah, yes... equation-array. Pardon my
concise description.)
