    There is something about it's UI which is hard to explain, but every single thing I need to do is somehow very inconvenient with Beekeper.

    Also bugs, I had some using it for like 15min in a very basic scenario. Devs seem to fail to approach them judging by the repository.

    Performs very well in good sides, and stupidly bad in bad sides, just like any Jetbrains product.

    E.g. editing tables and schema, autocomplete in console and SQL files, query result panel are all very convenient.

    But then DDL would give you stupid bugs when you least expect it, formatting and autoformatting is just broken from the very beginning, etc.

    I guess it comes down to if you can tolerate unpolished product for the features which matter to you.
