I also will never understand why people have so much trouble decoupling SQL, the query language, from classic RDBMS systems. Being able to use a SQL-like dialect in systems like Hive, Spark SQL, and now even Elasticsearch makes those systems infinitely more useful.

Now if only I didn't have to keep looking up the pandas "Comparison with SQL" page every time I have to do some manipulations to a data frame...

Also some services really get held back by their lack of SQL support. We use splunk and the lack of SQL expression comprehension hurts (especially with their lack of `IN`)
