also not too sure about the wording here, sounds a bit too marketing-y for a page in the reference docs to me. if this section is about comparing Prisma Studio to other DB GUIs, maybe something like "How Prisma Studio is different from other database GUIs" might work better?


Prisma Studio is different from a typical database GUI program (such as [TablePlus](https://tableplus.com/)) in that it provides a layer of abstraction which allows you to see your data represented as it is in your Prisma datamodel. This is one of the several ways that Prisma bridges the gap between how you structure and interact with your data in your application and how it is actually structured and represented in the underlying database. One benefit of this is that it helps you to build intuition and understanding of these two linked but separate layers over time.
