You wouldn't need the ability to add and delete columns if you can renumber the channels. I guess I am not clear on how this is accomplished other than doing it one row at a time, (and that is a pain). <Maybe I missed something there..
Find and replace would be very helpful when you take the download from a 2820 (8 place names) and put it into an 800 (6 place names) .
My 2 cents...

- The ability to delete and insert columns. This feature is needed
when you resort a channel group and want to re-sequence it. If you keep the channel numbers the same nothing will change once you reload it to the radio as it loads by channel number.
Do you mean rows? If you insert a column then you'll break the CSV format and it won't import.
I added add/delete rows with automatic renumbering to CHIRP a while ago. I still need to add an option to insert more than one at a time...
- Find and replace. If you want to rename channels (with a new naming
convention more suitable to multiple radios) you have to edit each channel. Excel lets you find a string and replace it in mass.
Hmm, okay. It's definitely something I can add, although I'm not sure I'd use it personally :)
- The ability to cut and paste. When setting up call sign routing you
copy one row to multiple rows and then edit just the name and urcall fields. Also this allows you to move groups of channels from on bank to another.
That's certainly doable too.
Thanks!
