In any case, this is not a WYSIWYG approach, and there seems to be no better way than this.

Yes, I experience the same. Also with simple formatting such as italics. If one wants to edit the formatted parts one has to type in the whole new text.

As an aid during editing one can evaluate the following to get a readable version of the existing text:

Information[SetEqualQ, "Usage"]

I tried this approach, but when I re-open the Wolfram script file, it will look like this:

SetEqualQ//ClearAll;
SetEqualQ::usage="SetEqualQ[\!\(\*SubscriptBox[\(list\), \(1\)]\),\!\(\*SubscriptBox[\(list\), \(2\)]\)]
    yields True if \!\(\*SubscriptBox[\(list\), \(1\)]\) is equal to \!\(\*SubscriptBox[\(list\), \(2\)]\), and False otherwise.";
SetEqualQ[l1_List,l2_List]:=SubsetQ[l1,l2] && SubsetQ[l2,l1];

As you can see, it is messy and difficult to read and understand.

Enter the subscript by pressing Ctrl and - at the same time. See this.
