The more I use Excel, the more I feel that its primary limitation is its UX for working with formulas.

LET is a great syntactic improvement, but the UI is still the same. I'd love if the formula box supported the basic things one expects from a code editor, like syntax highlighting, formatting, indentation, comments, etc.
