  I have wondered about this, the lambdas and table could be of huge benefit against some of the most egregious excel mistakes but that isn't an argument for excel's use. The problem is not one of it not being possible to do automated testing or source control in Excel. VBA is Turing complete so anything is possible, it's more one of not thinking, or understanding why, those things are important. Once you do come to think of such things as important you will quickly never use Excel for anything but the most basic calculations.
