Tableau is way faster to demonstrate your work on.
These professions need to get shit done fast. The workplaces that need them are extremely reactive to the market, etc.
So having debuggers isn’t necessarily a thing they’re interested in.
Now if you’re in a slower paced BI environment that’s where you generally see more traditional programming tooling be used.
- qsort 4y agoIt surely is fast enough, I'm not blaming people who use Tableau. But "faster" compared to what? It's not faster than pandas/seaborn, not faster than d3... even just for super simple stuff where GUI tools shine. If the final solution needs to be somewhat self-service, then sure, you can't expect the end user to write python or javascript, and Tableau is fine. If the end result is just a report that some technician has to prepare, then I sincerely doubt it's the fastest way to get there, even ignoring maintainability, source control, etc, where it's just a no contest.
