Unfortunately it suffers from many of the same problems.

I used Azure Data Studio with SQL Server for a while—decent, but still clunky. I believe this plugin is the evolution of that, so it’s probably solid too—but can't beat out what I'm currently using since it targets only Postgres.

It’s going to be tough to beat SQLTools for Sublime Text (https://code.mteixeira.dev/SublimeText-SQLTools/). It’s simple, fast, does the basics right, and crucially, works for many of the usual suspects.

Most IDEs try to do everything and fail, yet only target one db vendor. They’re _all_ bloated and buggy, with endless trees and menus, bells and whistles. Results grids are slow, copy/paste is janky, formatting is never quite right—or outright misleading.

SQLTools stays out of the way and just works.

...also, I don’t want AI-powered nonsense. I’ll reach for that when I need it. Get off my lawn.
