I hear you, although I must say I'm very interested in trying this out. It doesn't look like slop, and honestly all db clients I've used have somehow felt inredibly sloppy.

I agree.

For me, and for customers I want to document things for, it has come down to MySQL Workbench on the free/open source side of things.

I want to support multiple platforms without having to fundamentally document multiple strategies.

Most DB tools feel like they will go the way of PostgreSQL or Insomnia — get slowly burdened with cloud facilities and then a bait-and-switch means you need a login somewhere.

I would much rather be able to talk about clients that do fewer things, well, but DB clients do seem to be prime enshittification territory for some reason.

s/Postgresql/Postman/ obviously.

Brain concept leakage there. I meant all those apps that start off with a simple purpose and end up with an enterprise cloud plan.
