It does, for sure. On the other hand though, if you're connected to your
database via a slow network (working from home via modem or VPN for
example), it does mean that every click is instant rather than having to
wait for a query to execute - this is how pgAdmin I used to work, and
frustrated too many people which is why it was changed.

There's an up and downside to each design - just choose the tool that
works in the best way for you at the appropriate price for your wallet.
