Wow, I remember when this feature was planned/announced. It's great to see first class support for the Dataview-type workflows.

I hope the API has support to allow extensions---I see that it is on the Roadmap[0].

I'm particularly interested to see how this integrates with Canvas and other note types.

You can embed a base in a canvas, and you can list canvases in a base.

I am curious about how this compares to dataview. As a dataview user, I'm not immediately seeing something bases does that dataview doesn't, but I am not a power user.

Dataview can be used for queries that output tables, but its strength is letting you write essentially custom imperative Javascript code that renders stuff in notes dynamically (dataviewjs mode). Whereas "queries to tables" is more or less what Bases does, the dataviewjs mode will probably always be unique.
