It depends entirely on your personal preference, not so much on the
features of the tool,
there are whole subcultures in the IT world who swear by VIM. I tend to
swear *at* VIM.

But in the end it's personal preference and requirements that decide
which is the best tool.
I use DbSchema because of how quickly and visually I can create tables,
but I use DataGrip to execute
queries to actually manage a database, create functions, views etc.

Most tools have free preview licences so download them try them out, see
what feels good to you.
Just remember that a tool is not a substitute for knowledge, knowing
where to click in a GUI
is not the same as knowing how to maintain a database.
