Just a quick update, I was able to go thru "Excel Labs" to have "Advanced Formula Environment" open after long search in internet. The icon of "Advanced Formula Environment" is definitely gone under Formula tab. The "Excel Labs" icon is under Home tab. If possible, I would prefer to have "Advanced Formula Environment" icon back.

I prefer the AFE button, too. The workaround I'm currently using is I've added 'Excel Labs' to the Quick Access Toolbar. Next, I checked 'remember this choice' from this menu then opened AFE:

The result is AFE will open when I click 'Excel Labs' from the quick access toolbar. It seems to only go back to the features gallery menu above if I select 'features gallery' from this menu:

So far, so good. Though I still prefer the old button.
