Nah, the reason is simple - for excel to recognize something as a formula, you need to start with "="
However, some people realized that you can also start with (+) or (-), which sometimes makes you type faster (worst case scenario, it's the same).
What excel does after you finish your formula is to automatically put the "=", which generates these "=+" expressions
Victor is pretty much correct.
It was more efficient when you had a keyboard with a numeral keypad. You could hit the big “+” key over to the right to start your formula, versus hunting for the small “+” next to the backspace. And of course the “=“ requires an additional key stroke of simultaneously hitting the shift key.
With everyone moving to small laptops that did away with the numeral keypad, I can see how it would seem illogical.
