Right!
On the other hand, any real code IDE will have high-quality autocomplete, jump-to-definition, all that code IDE stuff. In the future DataStation may be able to hook into tree-sitter or LSP but for now it's more like a textarea with syntax highlighting (although the SQL code panel autocomplete is relatively complete).
Similarly, SQL IDEs have better exploration of your database. DataStation can't tell you about which tables or schemas exist yet (although I want it to in the future).
DataStation competes more directly with Python scripts than with SQL IDEs and code IDEs (although there is of course overlap).
