Good job, thank's !

1. For the record: the ability to create a new style is one of the items 
of the list of styles.

2. I understand that we will defer the option of sorting conditions. 
However I disagree with the proposition "the Add button Appended to the last condition".
- It adds the risks and constraints mentioned
- It does not allow to insert a condition. The user has to delete and recreate all of 
the following to insert a new one.

My proposal (with your mockup) would be to have an Add button (left to Remove button) 
for each condition. These two buttons would be located below the preview area.
- Click Add to add a condition after the selected one.
- Insert becomes possible
- Defer the sorting feature is less penalizing
- No risk of hidden button

3. It is crucial to know what cell is the current one when defining a "formula"
condition. "Area" should include "Current Cell". Space is not an issue here 
(ability to hide the area)

4. My proposal mockup was a first attempt in the discussion. It included the ability 
to disable (not delete) a condition. While this may be useful, especially for testing, 
this would require changes since this property is not currently available. 
I propose not to retain this proposal.
