It is also (for me) quite a bit noisier and less readable than SQL. The join example has multiple different syntactic symbols, for no clear intuitive reason (= vs ==, {} vs (), side:left vs p=positions).

I actually like it; it makes sense at a glance, without having read a single line of the official documentation. But I think people should be free to use either syntax -- method or query -- as they see fit, without judgment of which one is better.
