How do you find working with Arrow / Parquet?

Personally I found it very hard to reason about and thought that Clickhouse's strategy for managing columnar data much more reasonable.

Datafusion and Deltalake abstract away most of Arrow/Parquet. And those APIs were very nice to work with.

Do you have an example where CH was more reasonable? I don't have enough experience here, so would greatly appreciate hearing what you'e seen. Thank you!
