why not use Superset?

  Superset's very powerful, but other options can be easier for common use cases.

    Yeah I deployed it to Kubernetes the other day. I got it up in a few hours, and the included docker (compose) files are helpful, but it was a frustrating experience for a couple of reasons: * There is some legal issue with the Apache foundation that’s preventing them publishing to PyPi (details about this were lacking). * As a result, the provided dockerfile uses a very outdated version. * Installing any missing dependencies means essentially building your own dockerfile anyways: in my case, it was the bane of my life Snowflake DB dependencies... * Maybe it’s just me, but figuring out how to go from single-container ephemeral deployment to backend celery workers, external DB for persistence and a redos instance for caching (the recommended production setup) was frustrating to no end * There are hosted versions you can use. That said, we’re still going ahead with Superset, because it’s an improvement over the costly, ugly and over-opinionated alternative that is Tableau...

  yeah I was hoping for more feedback on Superset and with Druid as well. They look great but there's very little buzz about them.
