On a similar point, are people using the actual duck database format or sticking with Parquet? I love everything about DuckDB, but I feel more comfortable keeping things in an existing format.

My only work with it to date has been to load-analyze-usuallydelete to refresh, so I do not require any db mutability. Outside of mutability, not sure if there are any obvious wins with the format.

It's a bit faster and easier than parquet, but right now the format is unstable, which is a huge downside and makes it unsuitable for medium/long-term storage. After DuckDB v1, they'll keep the format stable and then I think its popularity will increase dramatically.
