You are right, CatBoost is an amazing algorithm. However, you will be shocked when you will talk with many older senior data scientist, that never heard of Xgboost or LightGBM. CatBoost for them is far too new.

Thank God I came across it in kaggle. Definitely amazing and it also gives easy python export of the model so you can put it as an udf in databases!

Interesting -- could you elaborate on your use case here?

>> as an udf

What exactly is that?

Just a guess on my part, but UserDefinedFunction?

User defined field perhaps?
