Ever since hearing about TablePlus (here), I've been using it for side projects. I tried to introduce it at work but the lack of Oracle support in the windows client was an issue.
Yeah a tool like this is going to be situational for everyone.

Browsers: basically no UI, except for the browser engine. Obviously has reason to use a full browser engine (unlike a small electron app).
VLC etc: looks terrible.
Sublime: looks surprisingly good. Took a ton of effort though. Perhaps a more appropriate list is
Fast, good looking, cross plattform, reasonable effort: pick any 3.

#54Earlier quoted context omitted.
I'd say it's a protection in case of their servers being breached and you downloading a malicious version of the application. No court on earth would support them if it attempted to exfiltrate all of your data.
AKA the CCleaner clause. Did Piriform get sued over that incident? Although as TablePlus worded it, it comes across like they want to be able to intentionally add malware to their software and get away with it. I'm no lawyer so I'm not sure how feasible it would be to add a "due to circumstances outside our control" subclause of some kind.

They're still installing software with CCleaner without user consent see:

#55This piece of software is superb. It's lightning fast, the UI is so easy to use, in terms of productivity it's super nice (small things like "copy as an insert statement"). It has been my daily driver for months now, but only for personal projects. I tried to get a license at work, but our lawyer said their EULA is a no-go :(
>It's lightning fast I think this depends on the database rather than the software itself.
I disagree.
Toad for example is really slow, but a lot of that is the design of the software itself (e.g. autocompleting the same thing twice is still slow the second time, because they don't do basic cache or predictive lookups).

#56Can it generate ER Diagrams like DBeaver? https://github.com/dbeaver/dbeaver/wiki/ER-Diagrams

#57How does it compare to Sequel Pro ( https://www.sequelpro.com/ ) that would make me want to pay?
I find it generally nicer than Sequel Pro (better UI, quicker database switching). Exporting and importing are much better in Sequel Pro. I do those in SP and then switch back to TP for editing. It's also got a dark mode which looks quite good.
Sequel Pro has dark mode already in the newest nightly build. Sometimes I got import failed which Sequel Pro working well.

#59I use SequelPro for Mac (and love it!). Has anyone used both and can explain whether it is worth switching?
