So, which language should American programmers use in their code?

What nation do you belong to?

I'm from Romania. Coding in your native language is likely used as a safeguard....it means it will be very hard to outsource the product :) . Coding in your native language on a OSS project is even worse.

All READMEs in English, all code in Portuguese? Really?

I'd never understood while people code in their native language. It's just so.....wrong.

Ever heard of Domain Driven Design? Your customer's problem domain is best expressed in their native language.

But for Open Source projects coding in English is probably the best way to attract contributors.

For the people that have already tried it, is this finally a good Postgres client for the MacOSX? Haven't found any that comes close to Sequel Pro for MySQL.

What's wrong with PgAdmin?

No, I don't count 'not looking native' as a problem.

Note the warning from the README: "Although this is a major upgrade version of pgModeler it is recommended NOT EXPORT the models created directly to production environments. Not all possible code generation were tested in this way, is its your own risk export the models into environments that are not intended for testing. The project's author is not responsible for any possible loss of data due the inappropriate use…

After all there aren't many high quality opensource RDBMS GUIs available. The only one I know is pgAdmin and even pgAdmin has some serious bugs. (GUI freezes easily when you have many windows open and/or do large queries; import/export barely work) The only code I would trust is the code I generate myself... ;)

I dunno about you, but it's pretty clear that the code I generate myself is the last code I would trust.

The good news is that the Sequel Pro guys have started to work on their Postgres framework:

HeidiSQL [1] is pretty good for most tasks. Although, it doesn't have an easy GUI for building databases.

Neither pgAdmin nor Heidi are modelling tools.

Agreed, their only downside IMHO.
