Is anyone here using KQL instead of SQL to query data? If so why?. I'm trying to understand what the benefits are over using SQL.

I use it on an ad-hoc basis to query Log Analytics data and intend to use it to import from log analytics / other streaming stores.  I use it because there isn't really a SQL option available.  The syntax is easy but it makes you appreciate the set based nature of "real" SQL - KQL is more of a "pipeline" type of syntax and it turns out that working with sets is quite useful!
