Testing your spreadsheet remains hard mind, compared to an actual programming language
Possibly because so many "real programmers" disdain it so it hasn't seen much investment in the necessary tooling.
I still hate that overblown grid control though
It's constraining in some ways, liberating in others.

That might be the case, and the functional programming thing is even more apposite now it has lambdas. Testing your spreadsheet remains hard mind, compared to an actual programming language.
I still hate that overblown grid control though, not least because it shafts gene names.
EuSpRiG is “fun” if that kind of thing floats your boat, their Chatham House Rules conference is simultaneously hilarious and horrifying.
