I'm pretty sure the GUI developers of DBeaver are blind sadists who want to punish all database admins for their sins. It would be considered 'cruel and unusual' in any U.S. court of law. It's not just ugly, it's a crime against humanity itself. Small animals within 10 yards of a computer inexplicably die any time the program is started.

That said, it really is quite useful and usually the best tool to get db stuff done quickly. It's my go to dbadmin app.

Phew, it's not just me then. I use it in a clean room after locking the house up.

The fact I happened to save one ad-hoc SQL query now means every time I hit the "New script" button I have an interstitial step where I have to say, "No, not that script, a new one" is frustrating.

It's just a Eclipse skin, so this is accurate.
