I really like mode. It strikes a decent balance between being sql/notebook first but also has the memory engine for diving into things by non-tech.

My problem with Mode is you often end up with a ton of copy and pasted SQL and no visibility or capability of changing it with updates in the underlying data. It really hurts data governance over the long run.

I like the notebooks feature, the integration of output cells with reports is so so, but it's the best balance between exploratory and reporting tool I've seen.

I found the parameterized code powerful but creating a basic report with lots of filters and a few parameters was very slow.
