I work on Positron, and I do not entirely disagree with you! We do have support for managing connections from Python and R: https://positron.posit.co/connections-pane.html

But we have some pretty big aspirations around expanding our SQL support, based on the features we have already built like that Connections pane, our Data Explorer, our Observable support via Quarto, etc. We plan to invest in this area over the coming months, starting in Q4 this year.

Appreciate the response, sorry if I'm being a bit direct but as you probably know that's the style that works the best on a forum like this one.

I'll keep tabs on you guys, my DS colleagues might be interested in the project.
