Thank god someone has done this. I have spent so much time looking for a halfway decent psql tool, I currently use 0xDBE, and still not happy. My favorite was Sequel Pro (currently only mysql) and I think its not supported any more.

Navicat provides a really nice tool for Postgres. It's paid, but the OS X 'starter' (or something like that) version can be bought for $15 or so. It's by far the best client I've used on OS X.
Seconded. It took me a while to bite the bullet and buy it, but if you're needing any kind of reliability from a PG GUI, Navicat is by far the best option.

I don't find the lag too noticeable; certainly not when you're in query mode. I do find the lack of Materialized View support lacking, though! They don't materialise anywhere..

I haven't see that software for less then $100. Also I think its java based which will have laggy performance.
Navicat feels snappy to me. I only use the features in the ‘Essential’ version which is £10: https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/navicat-essentials-for-postg...
