What is your estimate of the tine required to begin building on the new(old) foundation, discover all the problems after a large investment of effort, and then declare to all that ita the wrong path?

My personal pain is Tableau trying to move uo the stack into data orchestration and compute. Code is completely inaccessible.

Don’t build ETL on Tableau. They haven’t made meaningful product progress in 10 years and completely missed the changes in data transformation. They are playing catch-up, they don’t understand where the world is moving.

Tableau, once full of creatives, has been gutted by Salesforce since the acquisition.

Not really a Tableau user, but I bet they are doing it to increase vendor lock-in. Which has always been an industry wide problem, proliferation of APIs and languages for that reason. I am not even sure how this could be any different, if the remuneration in a capitalist society depends on scarcity of the traded product or service (and the commons are privatized as a means to increase it). Here, the commons are the common understanding, standard APIs, and interoperability.
