I don’t know why it matters to me, but I’ve always been put off by it being ugly and using non-native widgets. That may be the only reason I’ve paid for TablePlus. I’d probably be fine with a great TUI interface, too. So it’s really this intermediate UI that irritates me.

#132I have been using it for 3 years with Postgresql and it still buggy. When the db is throwing out an error dbeaver just say that there was an error on line xx followed by java exception stactrace forcing me to login into the db via command line and figure out what is wrong myself. If you want to write and debug a stored procedure then good luck! The ui had many issues and only recently seems to be just usable. At leas…

Ugliness is something I found to be quite common in Java based apps. I never understood why, though.
None of major Java/OpenJDK contributors (Oracle, Red Hat, SAP etc) care about desktop GUI Java libs. Jet Brains do care, but they are not major. All Java progress is concentrated on backend cloud services for 10-15 years already. This can explain why Swing is so underdeveloped and JavaFX was thrown away. Basically much more effort is required to make Java GUI look and behave nicely, comparing to Delphi/Lazarus or .NE…
What .NET GUI libraries are you referring to because anything other than WPF is tetering on "not a good idea." Have you built anything in Swing, WPF, Winforms, Xamarin Forms, or MAUI? You should give them all a serious test drive and get back to us with some informed comments.

I love the Eclipse IDE. It's a shame the Eclipse Foundation doesn't treat it better. Last time I tried to contribute to it, I ended up giving up. They wanted me to sign paperwork simply to report a bug. There was no documentation about how to build the IDE, which is scattered across dozens of repositories. Maybe that has improved, but I doubt it. They seem to be putting all their eggs into the Theia basket, which is…
Hi, I am an Eclipse Foundation committer, but I am not committing to the IDE itself. You don't have to sign the CLA (contributor license agreement) if you want to report a bug, but you have if you want to contribute code, even a small patch for a bug you found. That's a legal requirement to protect the Foundation from contributions that may copy/paste proprietary code and to ensure that you will not in the future cha…

DBVisualizer: https://www.dbvis.com/ (for exploring the schema)
Jailer: https://wisser.github.io/Jailer/ (for data browsing)
Aside from that, it's usually just been a mix of using specialized tools like MySQL Workbench, SQL Developer, pgAdmin and others, or something that tries to do it all like DataGrip.
Didn't actually find anything particularly amazing about DataGrip, but if I'm paying for the JetBrains Ultimate subscription, might as well use it because it's pretty okay.

For me it's buggy when it has to reconnect to something... eg. i work on something, close the laptop (suspend to mem), and the next day open it up, wait for an hour or two doing other stuff (so there's enough time to notice that the tcp session is down), and dbeaver shows a progress bar and gets stuck there, until i restart it, and click a zillion times to get to the proper psql table. Also, the annoying 'new version…
