Comments about Beekeeper studio as an Alternative to pgAdmin

KazimirPodolski
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.
