I actually feel bad for the Excel devs. In my friend's experience, the relatively modern features that MS introduced into Excel like named cell references were deliberately avoided because they smacked of "programming" and "made things too complicated"...so it seems like the Excel guys lose no matter what.
But with something like making the formula editor reasonable, I think they do have some blame. Excel costs a heck of a lot more than notepad and it is billed as being a serious tool for professionals to use.
