I use Navicat, and I'm very pleased with it.

As we're starting to move away from MS SQL Server, I'm just starting to use postgresql, and Navicat as a tool. But I'm really underwhelmed by Navicat's features and performance. It doesn't seem like a well-thought-out whole, and lacks a lot of obvious features (let's start with freakin' hotkeys for Run and Run Selected).

I just discovered DBeaver today, and while it's not up to the standards of SSMS (which is an amazing tool) with SQL Prompt, it so far beating the pants off Navicat.

Run is CMD-R, and Run Selected is SHIFT-CMD-R. [0]

I’m a huge Navicat fan and it’s the tool I most miss since switching to Linux. Their Linux version is just running the Windows version in Wine.

I’ve been using DBeaver and I’ve been very happy with it though. Paid for the enterprise license to help support it too.

The biggest tools from Navicat that I miss within DBeaver are the data sync and schema sync tools.

Same here, it's hard to beat. And with the addition of MongoDB support, it's really a complete tool for my team.
