People have a love/hate relation with SQL. I think most software engineers are OK with it, some even find it a curious case to tumble down the rabbit hole of multiple JOINs or inner SELECTs.
But for most people out there who simply want to poke at their business data, SQL, or this article's stated solution - EdgeQL are all pains in the wrong places. If you are making the life of engineers a bit easier, then you have to think of the millions of My/Pg SQL installations.
If you want to make the larger audiences' life easier (the business people who need insights), then you need to think outside of SQL altogether.
