Sometimes it helps a lot to eyeball what you have before doing one off scripts to filter/massage your data. Had a recent case where the path of least resistance was database to csv to one off python to statistic tools with a gui and tabular display.
Could have probably done some enterprise looking export infrastructure but it was a one off and not worth it.
I think it’s a think where having the option for the .1% of times when you need it keeps me using it.
