pgAdmin 3 still exists and afaik remains compatible with newer Postgres releases. You can still use it.
Postage, a tool developed by a family of software devs, was gaining popularity but recently became unmaintained without explanation (afaik). [0]
I started using IntelliJ DataGrip on a trial basis and it's good, but I probably won't pay for it. Sick of paying monthly subscription fee for every little tool I need from JetBrains, especially when I put down a project and don't need that tool for another x months.
Used DBeaver briefly but it's so many clicks just to set up a primary key that I shelved it for now. Will probably come back to it when DataGrip trial is over.
Not a conventional management tool but pgModeler [1] is a cool project IMO. Open-source, but they put a limit on the Windows binaries they distribute to try to get people to fund development. Can build from source yourself, install on Linux, or probably find free third-party builds elsewhere.
I think that most devs are just sticking with pgadmin3.

- kuschku 9y agoYou can just buy jetbrains' tools, you don't get updates, but you can always use them. (Specifically, if you subscribe even once you get the latest version, and can use it forever, even if you unsubscribe)
- reitanqild 9y agoSad to see postage becoming unmaintained shortly after the first time I heard about it. That said it seems there is little to gain except nice words for smaller open source efforts.
