Simplify formula tool inequality operator with <>, not just unintuitive !=

The number 1 issue I have with training Excel/SQL users on wonderful Alteryx is that "<>" isn't valid as an operator - I also struggled with this.

Why should users have to learn old ANSI SQL operators, <> seems unambiguous.

 

Apologies if this has been posted previously, but couldn't find it with the limited Search capability, but that's another post =)..

It is a difference of language syntax. I would expect Alteryx would be able to do this, because previously we had to use a double equal == to test for equivalence, and now we can also use a single equal = too.
