Anyone who uses PowerBI long enough has had a PBIX with 50-60 measures and it has become time consuming and tedious to mantain. In Excel you can do a quick find/replace to edit several formulas - in PowerBI you need to select each one individually. An "excel-like" interface for editing measures would save a lot of time! This would take PowerBI to the next level regarding productivity. I've prepared a mockup for this as well as a DAX Editor. Let me know what you think.

A 'find' feature for the GUI is also relevant, as it helps one to quickly jump to a column in a query (M Language) or in DAX.

Your mockup is beatiful, i'd vote for that reason alone1 + very very useful.

I love it! But definitely needs grouping! It's so hard to keep things organized for my own use, let alone collaborating with others on dev. I have well over 100 measures in a couple of my pbix files, and while strict naming conventions help, mine seem to render the Q&A useless.
