It was the same for me - back when I first learned SQL I really tried to use Postgres but phpMyAdmin was so much better than pgMyAdmin that I gave up. A lesson in the importance of user-friendly UIs. Perhaps some developers can really nail a schema on first go, but for me it usually takes a lot of tweaking before I can really understand what I want and the CLI is not the best place for that, especially if my mind is deep in the code I am trying to write.
