Users have strong expectations about what features a "spreadsheet" application should have, so I say it merely "feels like" a spreadsheet to help manage those expectations.
For example, in existing spreadsheet programs, each cell gets an A1-style location reference (even in an Excel table or a dynamic array).
That's not the case in Mesh, but it does something similar: a cell's default name is where it was entered in the grid UI, and (soon!) we update that name when the cell gets moved around.

But that's still possible in Excel too right? With "named ranges". Anyway, I see you're the creator and want to thank you for sharing the project and releasing the source-code. I feel like it's pushing the boundaries, but it can't really be explained yet. Look forward to seeing future development in this!
