How is this different / better to existing tools or workflows? I don't like to criticise new frameworks / tools without first understanding them, but I like to know what some key differences are without the marketing/PR fluff before giving one a go.

For instance, this tutorial example here (https://github.com/Netflix/metaflow/blob/master/metaflow/tut...) does not look substantially different to what I could achieve just as easily in R, or other Python data wrangling frameworks.

Is the main feature the fact I can quickly put my workflows into the cloud?
