Beautiful. Our entire back-end is powered by FireStore and the admin UI is... lacking. We've been writing custom scripts and were even planning to build a bare-boned web app to easily let us perform certain actions without having to run a script.

Adding / editing in the Firebase admin UI is also time consuming.

The spreadsheet abstraction feels effective. I'm really looking forward to playing around with this.

(Also, seems like there's some confusion about the Firestore reference: https://firebase.google.com/docs/firestore).

I wouldn't quite compare this with Airtable because even thought the abstraction may look the same, the audience is very different: FireStore's audience is technical, while only a small fraction of Airtable's is technical, which leads to a different set of product priorites and likely a very different long-term roadmap.
