Next challenge: make the find/replace dialog better than the confusing tabbed mess it is today. And make it non-modal for simple search/replace.

CTRL+F… text not found… what do you mean, I’m looking right at an example of this string… Edit->Find… oh by default it ignores the value of a cell and searches inside the formula that generates that value… change to search by value.

Next day… CTRL+F… text not found … what do you mean, I’m looking right at an example of this string…

I think it would be nice if they added a feature where you could visually tell what cell you have highlighted. Bigger screens nowadays, I always have to look in the upper left to see what cell I am in, and then find the row and the column on the left and then trace across and down and voila, there is the highlighted cell.

Making it a substantially different color outline or something would be a nice feature. Maybe a 2032 feature.
