Re: Forks of pgadmin3?

Or just persevere with pgadmin4 for a few months? Pretty common for
people to hate any major changes to a tool that they are very comfortable

This year I've invested the time to learn a few new toolsets (not on
Postgresql necessarily) and found it to be well worth while.

At least pgAdmin4 is up to date with all the new features in 11.
