As the only SQL client with native support for PlanetScale, Arctype is definitely useful from that perspective. I also like the UI and find it pretty easy to use.

In my admittedly limited experience using it, I found that some MySql datatypes seemed to be missing from the table editor (e.g., `TEXT`). Not sure why this is and I haven't had time to dig further.

It's promising, and way better than even some of the other paid options. (Like, what is DBeaver even doing??)

DBeaver is the main database IDE I've used. What are your issues with it? The UI is not the most beautiful. My biggest gripe that I can remember was that I needed an extension for SSH that kept getting uninstalled after every update of DBeaver.
We <3 PlanetScale. If we have some data types that aren't showing up for you, please let me know at justin at arctype.com, we'll get those fixed asap!
