- view big data quickly with the data explorer
- fully featured console + plots + variables + connections pane
- view parquet, csv, csv.gz data in 1 click
- preview quarto/app output inside the IDE

I've never used DuckDB, mostly because I haven't had a need for it (we don't all have the same needs!). Can anyone help me understand the problem DuckDB solves for them and let me ask them dumb questions? I get the chance to talk with the creator of DuckDB (and so will you) and I'm excited! #DataBS
