So my team is using DBT for a lot of data lineage items but then at the data summit it was shown that data bricks also has a similar tool that is in fact better because it does lineage on columns. So what's the main draw of DBT at this point?

DBT (Data Build Tool) remains popular for its extensive templating capabilities, modularity, and open-source nature, which allows for customization and integration with various data platforms. While Databricks may offer more advanced lineage features like column-level lineage, DBT’s large community support, rich ecosystem of plug-ins, and ease of managing SQL transformations can still be beneficial for many teams. It's also possible to use DBT in conjunction with Databricks to leverage the strengths of both tools.
