I can't comment on TablePlus, as I've never used it. I have used DBeaver but, it's been awhile. I remember it worked fine at the time but, it's a bit of a mess UI wise; that's what I recall anyway, maybe it's changed? I don't know.

I'm not living in the DB, day in and day out, and only need to do a few operations here and there, which is why I said, "it's simple and if you don't need all the power", so that's the only comparisons I think I'm making if referring to DBeaver and what I'm seeing of TablePlus.

To clarify what I mean by "power": they have a ton of features that I don't currently need or use. If I did then I'd consider something more full featured, like the others but, since I don't need much and Beekeeper is free, elegant (opinion) and has the features I do need, it works well for me. Of course, to each their own. Really just sharing something I recently stumbled upon.
