Thanks to the AirBNB engineering team for creating this.

I'm sure you guys get this question all the time, but what are the biggest differences between this and Luigi / Pinball? And why might a data team migrate from Luigi to Airflow?

Reading through the docs, I can see:

- a richer UI

- task history

- cmd line interface

- very small codebase, more easily extensible and less rigid than Luigi's
