> Excel being visual (the formula is evaluated/tested immediatly after being entered)

We generally call this "interactive" and not "visual", in order to avoid confusion with graphical programming languages.

I agree that being interactive probably helps rapid iteration, debugging, and experimentation. However, Excel could still be interactive without being so fast and loose with types, accurate display of numbers, and many of the other faults others have pointed out.

Also, if you're trying to make some subtle point about the reduced severity of mistakes, you mean "lesser" rather than "less", otherwise you mean "fewer". https://duckduckgo.com/?q=less+vs+fewer
