Use Case of Graphical Query Builder (GQB) is different from pgModeler.
If I understand correctly, pgModeler shows the ER diagram of the database
(portion of a database).

And - GQB was allowing to "drag 'n' drop" the tables/views in the diagram
and connecting the columns to generate queries based on those relationships.

Patrick,

GQB in pgAdmin 3 was very basic, and had a lot of bugs. hence - we decided
not to implement in pgAdmin 4 until somebody asks for it.
If you can raise the feature request, we may consider implementing in the
future.

All,
ER diagram modeling is already in the TODO list of pgAdmin 4.
We're considering to start working on it sooner.
