The most painful thing for me, but not to ordinary users, is that the formulas are localized in the user's language.

This is a big one, especially if your edition isn't English/US.

Also the number formats and locale settings can cause quite a bit of trouble, if its not English/US. Alot of data warehouse setups output files with U.S formats even in Europe.

+1 The devil has many names. VLOOKUP and SVERWEIS (German) are two of them.
