Can someone who understands it explain what dbt is and how it is used. I hear a lot about it but I just haven't figured out what it is useful for.

I am not sure if it is that popular these days. Couple of years ago it was pretty popular.

The hype may have gone down, but it's usage is good. It's used where I work. It has a slack channel that's pretty busy.

dbt isn't going anywhere. It's the standard.

That said, SQLMesh and other tools are pretty interesting and I look forward to new growth in the space.
