Super bloated webview-as-a-desktop-app that makes electron apps look like they run hand-optimized assembler code.

I go for DBeaver, works marvellously.

What a disaster pgadmin4 is. Had to package it for Arch recently.

I legitimately don't understand why they don't use Electron. Irrational hate of all things JS? There's a right tool for the job and this is it.

Well, they do use JS, though it is crapton of medicore jQuery plugins that run in ages old QtWebkit Python bindings.
