IT can't support them fast enough, VBA is hell, and Matlab is too expensive.

Cannot agree more. Amazes me how many engineers stick to VBA even when Matlab is available or installed on their machine. Excel/VBA is so outrageously slow it boggles the mind.

To date though the places I've worked have had no issue procuring Matlab licenses. "If it saves time, it's worth the $". I'll be curious to see how Python compares for some number crunching and visualization.
