DBeaver is great as a mature cross platform sql editor, and packs a lot of db design and management tools: https://dbeaver.io

I used it for a bit and I find it lacks in the text editing capabilities.

Your comment would have been useful if you elaborated on what text editing capabilities DBeaver is currently lacking.

Multiple cursors, jumping around in the text without the mouse, etc.

TablePlus is my favorite one after trying most of those https://tableplus.com/

Once they publish the docs for how to build plugins, TablePlus is going to be the obvious choice. I can't wait for my database browser to have charting!

They have a few plugins available on GitHub so you can copy and adapt and intuit some of the API but I did not see docs available a few weeks ago when I looked.

I also think TablePlus is the best option by far right now, although sadly not open source - would be great if they'd consider Open Sourcing at least the code base licences have already expired passed for.
This looks like a great contender though. Would be useful to have a few more filter options.

I would also recommend DBeaver[1]. Cross-platform with really nice features.

I've used DBeaver in the past, but still felt compelled to make Beekeeper Studio. DBeaver is great for a DBA, but can you imagine giving it to someone learning SQL for the first time?

I second this recommendation. DBeaver is great and will work with almost every RDBMS you'll ever encounter.

Bugs linger indeed and non-FOSS is obvious.
If by bulky, you mean start-up time (or resource usage which I don’t really care about), I agree, same as with all other JetBrains tools.
But slow? Everything is so fast, much faster than SQL Manager Studio or Heidi SQL (which I just tried). Autocompletion for fields, tables, SPs, everything is lightning fast and always more context appropriate than any other solution I tried.
I just checked Azure Data Studio as well and while completion was as quick, it wasn’t as context-appropriate and query results took far longer to display.

I notice you had not tried squirrleSQL
OP's client looks way nicer for sure

So basically Datagrip?
In case anyone is curious, here’s what I’ve tried so far:
- DataGrip: bulky, slow, bugs never get fixed, non-FOSS
- Azure Data Studio: great interface, but no MySQL or SQLite support
- phpMyAdmin: clumsy, lacking in features, requires a web server—I’m really not the target demographic for this one
- CLI clients plus a decent text editor: what I always end up falling back to; daily driver at the moment
