What I specifically wanted to do was to display variables (along with text) in a textbox.
And that was not as straightforward as in QlikView where you just type, eg =ScriptErrorCount or ='Errors: '&ScriptErrorCount into the text objects Text box
In QlikView:
I found this out now, and will explain here for the benefit of others
In Sense:
The text needs to be added as a "measure".
Below is a newly added Text & Image object in Sense.
Even if it looks like it below, you can't click on the + below to add a "measure".
If you click on the + you can only add static text.
To add a "measure" click the "Add measure" button in the right pane:
Next click on the fx symbol. This is important, you can't just start typing =ScriptErrorCount or something like that. If you do that it will end up being hardcoded text.
Now you finally come to the "Add expression" box which seems to be the equivalent of the old QlikView text object text box...
And here the Sense behaviour is the same as old QlikView:
In Sense you can also add several "measures" per Text & image object, and format them differently (font-size, color etc)
Hope this helps someone else!

Dear Sir Gandalf the gray, 
Yes, you will be able to use dollar expansion to show variables defined in load scripts. For instance,
you have a definition in script: set vBar = 100;
and you can simply use this variable in any expression by: $(vBar)
However, a runtime/system level variable like QlikView is not available yet in 1.0 release. It's on the roadmap of future releases. But exactly in which release, it's not decided.

Yes sir,
I see your point, glad that you found solution yourself.
It is a different design and idea in Qlik Sense, variables are presented as 'tokens' in Text&Image Visualizations. What I mentioned for not available yet (but in future vision) is something like Variable Overview in OverQlikView:
