Updating to 64bit would require a huge amount of work to first get the code working properly with wxWidgets 3, and then to move to Cocoa rather than Carbon.

It’s not a good use of time given how unmaintainable (and out of date) that code has become - it’s definitely not something I have time to do I’m afraid. Time would be far better spend filling the remaining gaps in pgAdmin 4 (whatever they are - we’ve addressed the majority that were reported).
