Before the Snowflake blog post, I did not know what Snowflake or Databricks were. I can only imagine that this rivalry is great for both of them, even if Databricks is somewhat on the advantage end, at least from a tactical standpoint; I admit though that they seem to be a bit unnecessarily defensive considering the position they're in with the exchange.

In general though, I'm still not complaining. It's interesting to see a dispute like this unfold.
