There are at least a couple of boilerplate operations that Microsoft Fabric is missing.
First, if an asset is created on the server instance running a notebook, a robust method to move that asset to a lakehouse is needed. I am currently in a situation where, after establishing some data pipelines for a client, I need to create an Excel file (with formulas, data, and formatting--NOT a CSV file) in a notebook based on some data in a lakehouse and then save that Excel file back in the same lakehouse. I found a workaround through a mount point, but the functionality appears to be missing from Fabric design.
Second, there's not much point in generating that Excel file if I (or my client) cannot retrieve it. A simple "download" button for objects in lakehouses is needed.
Without such boilerplate functionality, Fabric does not appear to be a fully baked product.
