My short list:

* select a group of cells and "paste" = fills all cells with the same value.

* cut or copy blocks of cells.

* middle mouse paste should keep working after the first cell.  Also,
  you can't middle-mouse a different cell if another is in edit mode.

* ability to rearrange columns, hide columns.  This goes along with
  the "remember the column layout" request.

* sort rows by a column.

* automatic "best fit" width of columns.

* ESC to cancel a cell edit.

* headers should be centered.

Niceties:

* column headers should have left-mouse popup menu to change
  visibility of attribute, visibility of column, perhaps a "sort by
  this", etc.
