Got some interesting uses from the new DuckDB UI tool from Motherduck. Can be used as the query editor for Iceberg data lakes

Python support of Iceberg seems to be the biggest unrealized opportunity right now. SQL support seems to be in good shape, with DuckDB and such, but Python support is still quite nascent.
