I'm that in-house programmer for my division. I write utilities that save us and our clients time. I also build custom ETL programs that make client "data" work. Yeah! Even though we are slowly switching to SSIS for some of the complex jobs, many times a small script in PowerShell or Python is the answer for the job.I think that's called picking the right tool for the job, which is something I'm a big proponent of as a whole.
I think you will find much support for that thinking.
As an aside, I initially scan read your response and thought (totally incorrectly) that you you were being a tad aggressive. If you cannot see it then you are a far purer soul than I am. If you can then you might chuckle :Whistling:
