Reading through the docs it seems as though cell contains an Option, and Option just contains the value or None, much like Haskell Maybe monad. I fail to see what use cell has that cannot be done with Option.
Cell allows you to more clearly specify your intent. You can do everything with Cell with Option--it's called the "option dance"--but it can be harder to read.
In particular, Cell is preferred over Option when working around the current lack of one-shot closures (i.e. when you want to move out of a closure).
