The issue with jq is that I use it maybe once a month, or even less. The syntax is "arcane enough" that I keep forgetting how to use it because I use it so sporadically.
In comparison awk – which I also don't use that often – has a much easier syntax that I can mostly remember.
Not entirely convinced by the zq syntax either though; it also seems "arcane enough" that I would keep forgetting it.
