It kinda always baffled me that MySQL always had better (free) GUIs (MySQL WorkBench) while what was in my opinion (and nowadays I think most others) didnt have any good ones

There were always some commercial GUIs for PGSQL, but the free or opensource ones were very bad

PgAdmin is very bad in my opinion, functional, but .. i guess i never really liked that it was web based, it felt slow and clunky and the aesthetics were off

Now Azure Data Studio have a PG Plugin, I didnt try it yet, but I used Azure Data Studio for MS SQL, and I am starting to like it a lot, I do hope Azure Data Studio continue to support many more DBMSes and hope that it get more adoption and support for PGSQL and from the PGSQL community

EDIT

One more thing I want to mention, Azure Data Stuido, have a feature that currently only support MS SQL, its the database project

In a DB Project on ADS (Azure Data Studio), you work on your DB declaratively , i.e. you work on a SQL script that describe your table or other objects (A Create Statement) and the Poject tooling auto generation to alt and deployment scripts by comparing changes vs target , you can deploy directly from ADS or generate a dakpac to be executed as part of your CI/CD

Also since all you code is simple .sql file you can easily use source control

All other tools mentioned below have nothing that come close, not even DataGrip from Jetbrain

I do hope that MS will add support for other DBs to their Database Project feature in ADS, its an amazing feature, and the only way one should work on a DB
