Yes, visual query editor is a good idea, we will try to add it.
We hoped that people will try out examples from the front page to get used to the language. Also writing small tutorial is in plans.

Who is your target user? It seems like your copy on your site (for the home page & query language) is geared towards developers but analytics are typically used by the business/marketing guys.
Target user is professional analyst. Someone who is hired or is consulting the organization to provide "data science" services. We believe that this user becomes increasingly technical with abilities to create workflows with multiple tools and data sources to get insights. We hope that our service will become indispensable tool for such user.
isnt is somewhat like event tracking and funnel analysis that mixpanel provides.
They do provide a fair bit of flexibility of slicing and dicing of data as well in their UI

Yes, they indeed provide comprehensive UI to slice and dice the clickpaths. Our goal is to build flexible and fast API to enable creating custom reports and dashboards.
We also envision extensibility with custom functions and datasets so people can do just about anything with their clickpath stream, including mashing it up with their data.

I feel the data analysis in the most efficient way and to learn from the data is the most important aspect to grow.
You have mentioned in the point 2 that "We do heavy-lifting of event collection and pre-processing to enable fast and flexible queries powered by map-reduce." I guess the event collection will be based on some Javascript call. If that is so, do include the flexibility to attach some properties with the event.

Certainly. We have the ability to attach custom attributes to events and then segment by them [1]. We envision both backend and frontend ways to attach attributes. With frontend they could be set by JavaScript in the page. In backend we have plugins for popular platforms in works.

I think this will help people learn the query language more quickly; and as a bonus, they'll ramp-up faster with your product by using simple queries they've constructed from the sandbox which completely avoids that nasty initial knowledge hurdle.
Signed up. :)
