    Besides only needing know JSON vs Python, which could be much easier learning curve for the non-coder, a big advantage is that Deneb supports interactivity (crossfiltering) with other visuals. As far as I know, the standard PBI python and r visuals do not.

    Unless you already know Python, Deneb is much easier to learn. It is based on Vega/Vega Lite, which is a powerful grammar of graphics. Two other reasons include 1) you don't need to make sure the needed libraries/packages are supported in the Power BI service and 2) you are not limited to refresh only through a personal gateway.
