Lambdas are awesome but the ui and their management could use some work.

It would be great to have a “script” view to manage defined names instead of hacking them one by one.

Single line entry isn’t efficient and the default assumption that cursor keys navigate a sheet instead of the formula box, is annoying. I find myself copying formulas out of excel, modifying them in a text editor, and pasting them back.

And shift space being the most annoying of all.

Being in a formula writing a closing brace only to have the formula bar explode because I didn't let go of shift in time. Who wants that?
