The application looks and feels nice, but the per-device pricing/licensing model seems severely outdated to me. I will not make a purchase unless named licenses, which enable me to use the application on all devices and operating systems I use (with reasonable limits if DRM is needed for some reason), are available.

I'll be a paying customer but I need a little flexibility. I use more than one computer and some other devices - I don't need an SQL tool on all of them but definitely on more than one.

#13It offers so many features that seem so natural. Quick editability which in some cases saves a ton of time. Tabs for different tables, plain text editing for queries with highlighting for ease of reading. There are other database interactors, that do the same thing, but really for me, I've found the UI/UX looks and feels so much better than others, and as a user, that really is a huge part of it.
As for the licensing price, I started by trying it out in the free, two tab version. I then stepped back and thought about how for me, the benefit it gave me was well worth $60.
Again, I have nothing to do with them, but for how nice it's been for me, I feel it deserves a shoutout.

#15These products should have a mandatory feature comparison chart to their competition - it'd speed up the inevitable decline of mediocre competition that relies on gaming google search results for its survival. I back in the day had to download and suffer through half a dozen DB clients that do the same thing slightly differently.

#18I love the licensing model. No crappy "pay us for the privilege of using the software every month and year" like Adobe does. Just plain perpetual licence like Affinity. We need more projects like that.
I think the pricing is low enough to overcome these annoyances but I’d rather pay double and not have to be concerned with buying another license when I dual boot another OS.
