Winner, winner. I am at a competitor of Tableau's, but the point remains the same. One of our favorite quotes was an upper executive at a major technology retailer who told us a version of "it's so cheap to fail with you guys".

There are absolutely needs for engineers who (deeply) understand SQL, can write python code, and can whip up a d3 chart. But that's an expensive project.

There are many, many more individuals in organizations who would make much smarter decisions if they learned a tiny bit of SQL, a basic data warehouse, and were presented with a GUI tool (PowerBI, Tableau, Qlik, etc, etc).
