#42Data-centric IDE screams like Excel!

I’m curious: what would need to be added to Excel to do this?

My guess (some if this we already have, some we don't):
- automation: integration of heuristics (multiple columns that you can program via formulas and such)
- exploration: finding outliers or most similar records given some reference (e.g. "I want to label more rows that are about business news in some extent")
- monitoring
- labelmanagement [which we don't offer yet in the extent we'd like to]: merging and splitting labels etc.
generally anything that scales and "somewhat" guarantees the users to input valid labels.
But it definitely offers something that new tools don't: users are super familiar with it.

#45Amazing project! After testing it for a few minutes, I think this is a handsome tool. Smooth and functional.
Thanks Francis! Means a lot :)

#46As I work mostly on MSSQL Server, the sweet spot for me is SSMS with RedGate SQL Prompt.
For non-MSSQL things, it's usually DBeaver.
No need for a new IDE for me.

#47It would look like Datagrip without the ridiculous yearly subscriptions.
Their subscriptions couldn't possibly be fairer. An annual individual license costs what, two hours of wages? And you get a perpetual fallback, and a 40% continuity discount. It's incredibly reasonable.

#48Microsoft has a fork of VS Code called Azure Data Studio. It's made for DB queries and notebooks: https://github.com/Microsoft/azuredatastudio
> Microsoft has a fork of VS Code called Azure Data Studio It's pretty buggy, and they haven't made much progress on fixing the bugs. I've used it pretty much since it came out - I do Microsoft SQL Server & Postgres work on my Mac - and the thousands of open issues on a relatively new product say something: https://github.com/microsoft/azuredatastudio/issues
I've been using Azure Data Studio for a few tasks over the last year or so, and it's worked fine. Just another data point. I'm running it under Linux, because SSMS is not available for Linux.

That's generally a good thing. If a product had no issues that would mean that there's no uptick in usage.

#50Jetbrains has one specifically for this: DataSpell - https://www.jetbrains.com/dataspell/ . It's like a tweaked version of DataGrip + PyCharm, but catering specifically to the particular needs of data scientists.
