The Apache-licensed DBeaver is too limited for my needs: it exists to advertise their "DBeaver PRO" commercial license and features, but even then you cannot get a perpetual license for DBeaver PRO: it's subscription-only; their Enterprise edition claims to not require Internet access - but is not intended as a single-user software product (and it's priced accordingly).
In short: DBeaver simply won't sell me what I actually want.
Honestly, i love dbeaver but the fact it doesn't respect GTK nicely and the UI hasn't gotten much love makes me want to switch to something else. I know most people don't really get bothered by it, so I'd say it's not that big of a deal. It is for me though
What else is on the table that is similarly nice? The only other contender of which I am aware is DataGrip.
I likely only use 1% of the DBeaver features, so I do not necessarily need something as powerful, yet most of the database IDEs feel pretty anemic in their offerings.
