I've been a professional C, Perl, PHP and Python developer.
I'm an ex-sysadmin from the late 20th century.
These days I do more Javascript and CSS and whatnot, and promote UX and accessibility.
it's GUI-only, so when you work on a foreign system you'll have to find something else, with a different interface, and learn that instead
it doesn't (didn't? I don't know if it's changed in the last year) support some later versions of MySQL and will crash horribly when you try to do something like open a new tab while connected
its roadmap explicitly said it wasn't going to fix those issues
the name is confusing to new users and project managers, since adding "pro" to the end of something is usually Mac-speak for "proprietary, and expensive", and implies that there's a non-pro version (which there isn't)
some long queries crash the world and you can't quit them
At my place, we switched to using Table Plus to get round the bugs in Sequel Pro, but that's not a wonderful solution either because it's non-free.
MySQL workbench is probably the best solution because it's cross-platform and free, but it has its own bugs (sometimes it even crashes the MySQL server, but that's more an indicator that the server needs work...)

All fair points! To my credit- 1) I'm on a mac 2) It was refreshing to use a GUI after so much terminal spelunking 3) It does not support the newest versions of SQL PRO as far as I know, but we're using 5.7 so that wasn't an issue 4) I'm a greedy boy, and since SQL PRO fit my very specific needs, I love it.
I was looking at using MySQL workbench, actually...but the Sequel PRO docs were speaking to my immediate needs so I tried that out instead. I'll check out workbench next!

Sequel Pro has a few problems:
