Nobody is debating that the dialog has more features than the function list, as
that is not the issue at hand. The issue is whether the average calc user needs
to open the function dialog, which takes up 41% of my 1280x768 laptop screen
and covers 64% of the visible cells on my sheet, or is the function list
sufficient for most of their needs, which takes up 16% of my screen and covers
21% of the visible cells.

The addition of a button in the function list to open the function dialog would
be a good enhancement to the pane, though the pane does need some reworking
already.
