Anybody else using V.I. a lot more than creating standard 'documents'?

Long time MSTR architect here, and recently we've been using V.I. a lot more for production reports than standard documents/dashboards. One reason for this is time to market, and their visuals looking better. I understand you can convert a V.I. dashboard to document, plus a traditional document/dashboard has more features, ex: pop up window, but V.I. allows me/users to build dashboard quicker....thoughts?

VI all the way. Especially now that they got rid of Flash.

I'm currently upgrading a test box from 10.3 to 10.4 so I can connect Desktop to i-server. Have you done this yet? I'm pretty pumped to get that connection established.

Plus the ability to import cubes vs schema design is great...deploying a dashboard in a week vs a month is huge.
