@debacle, thanks for the nice feedback.

Regarding cell names. Currently every cell has an "id" e.g. A1 which is represented in the background R session as the variable A1. If you enter a formula like "pi = 3.14" into cell A1 then that cell has an id of A1 as well as a "name" (like an alias) of "pi". You can name a cell "a1" e.g. enter "a1 = 42" into cell A1 - but that could be confusing.

Yes, not being able to tab between cells is annoying - no decision was made on that - we just haven't got round to it. Just created an issue: https://github.com/stencila/stencila/issues/162. Thanks for the prod!

It might be good user experience to either make variable names case-insensitive (could be done any time before R), or default a1/A1 as the same pointer.

You'll really want to appeal to less technical folk, and they have trouble with case-sensitive things.
