- Loki doesn't allow queries without stream filters. This may be very inconvenient. For example, try selecting all the logs with the 'error' word in Loki. In LogsQL you just type 'error' and that's it!

- As I know, Loki doesn't allow selecting all the logs on the given time range. For example, try selecting all the logs for the last 5 minutes in Loki query language. In LogsQL this is just '_time:5m'.

- Loki has unreadable syntax for calculating analytics over the selected logs. For example, counting the number of logs with the 'error' word over the last 5 minutes in Loki looks like:

count_over_time({required="stream_filter"} | "error" [5m])

Compare this to LogsQL:

_time:5m error | stats count() as errors

- Loki doesn't allow calculating multiple stats in a single query. For example, try calculating the number of logs with the 'error' word, plus the total number of logs, over the last 5 minutes. In LogsQL this is easy:

_time:5m | stats count() if(error) as errors, count() as total

- As I know, Loki doesn't provide functionality for sorting of the returned logs.

- Loki can return only up to 5000 logs from a single query by default. VictoriaLogs allows returning billions of logs from a single query, without any performance and resource usage issues [1].
