My workflow is very similar. All data analysis, all the time. Tools: Lots of SQL (MySQL). AWS Elastic MapReduce + Hive for log analysis. Python (pandas). R (ggplot2 + stat modeling - haven't fully grok'd Python's statsmodels package yet). A little bit of D3, and a lot of command line. Maybe some Flask every once in a while to prototype out a reporting web app. I try to avoid Excel entirely because it always crashes on my MBP, but still find myself in it every so often to simply look at my dataset.
