Since you mentioned it, I was always curious if the team behind TablePlus were/are connected to the team behind Postico [1]. The UIs for both (at least before Postico 2) are almost identical.

As someone who uses both of them (One for Scylla, one for PG) on a daily basis...I don't think they look "almost identical" at all.

It'd been several years, but taking another look now I can spot the differences.

I suppose the tooling for databases (or the expectation from users) means they all end up sharing a similar UI and where and how various features are implemented. Not too unlike word processors or spreadsheet software!

Yet I still don't think nothing beats the good old SequelPro's elegant interface.

Somehow not really liking the fork.

YES! That's why I built Beekeeper Studio. Still have fond feelings for that app, especially the pancakes logo.
