Being able to use SQL on CSV and json/jsonl files is pretty sweet. Of course it does much more than that, but that's what I do most often with it. Love duckdb.

Indeed! I generally like awk a lot for simpler CSV/TSV processing, but when it comes to cases where you need things like combining/joining multiple CSV files or aggregating for certain columns, SQL really shines IME.
