Part of the issue is that the team I'm on consists of a majority of finance majors who only know VBA, and maybe just a few C++ devs (I'm pretty much the only non-finance person on the team). This is sort of those "when all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail" issues. Simple one-off VBA tools find a little bit of traction and then, through patchwork, evolve into something critical yet lack proper up-front and long-term-planning design. They're all smart folks of course, but I feel like so much more could be accomplished with better tooling.
Your product looks really cool; I've actually been looking for something that will do ETL tasks and I've only used Informatica and SSIS, which obv aren't free. Will be checking it out!
