Just doesn't live up to expectations. Entering an alias always feels like a double chore, even with the macro.

This absolutely. Using variables is a very powerful feature which enables robust, solid and parametric modelling. The way it is implemented currently, however, is very crude. I have also had issues where when a cell refers to another cell further down in the spreadsheet, all sorts of mysterious bugs occur.

Would be nice if someone would implement a proper solution for this. I'd be willing to chip in on financial support if that would be required.
