Make the model scriptable would be great. Today in Power Query you have possibility to switch to the advanced view where you have the scripted version of the transformation. Having the scripted version of the data model, where measures and calculated columns for all tables are all together in a single scripted view would be useful and would speed up the data model design process

RE: scripted view of the data model
Great! If possible, I would go further. The pbix file should be splitted in two: a data file and a design file. The design file should be fully friendly (a json file?) and let set all visuals, measures, etc.
It would be great to put the file in repositories to control versions and changes (git, svn, etc).
RE: scripted view of the data model
A single script for all DAX measures, would be great
RE: scripted view of the data model
Broadly speaking, it would be helpful to have support for bulk changes to the DAX model. I would be happy with script support and/or a GUI that allowed for inserting, updating, or deleting multiple measures at once.

RE: scripted view of the data model
I'd like the ability to define all my DAX measures in a single script, as opposed to using the interface.
