Can someone ELI5 what Airflow is and why I should care? I'm seriously out of the loop on this and would love to know, thank you.

  Why, when you're too lazy to visit the site and spend 2 minutes reading the About page?

  Here here! The docs don't really make it clear what Airflow is for someone who hasn't already used or been exposed to it. Is it a job scheduler like Rundeck? Something else?

  It's a job scheduler that runs directed acyclic graphs. A key feature of Airflow is you can more or less write your workflow naturally in python, and it will create the workflow graph for you. It includes a web interface for managing your workflows, a scheduler, and much more.

    What exactly is a "workflow"? And how does it benefit from "directed acyclic graphs"?
