It's hard to find information on this marketing website. Here is a summary gathered from the comments : - It's for windows - It's not open source - They plan to build a cross-platform IDE using Electron I think we have solid alternative in the open source world and I don't really see how this product is better (This is based on the information provided by the website).

What is the open source alternative?

  There's DBeaver Community

    Played with that a bit a few days ago. It's not going to replace the DB tools in intellij (which are basically DataGrip) but for nearly all my use cases it could. It's really decent.

    For use with Oracle, I switched after many years from Oracle SQL Developer to DBeaver; the latter is rather close, except for advanced Oracle-specific features. SQL Developer caused me significant file system grief by creating recursive directory hard links in the settings folder (on Windows), so it's banned forever from my systems.

    I'm pretty sure the GUI developers of DBeaver are blind sadists who want to punish all database admins for their sins. It would be considered 'cruel and unusual' in any U.S. court of law. It's not just ugly, it's a crime against humanity itself. Small animals within 10 yards of a computer inexplicably die any time the program is started. That said, it really is quite useful and usually the best tool to get db stuff done quickly. It's my go to dbadmin app.

      It's just a Eclipse skin, so this is accurate.

      Phew, it's not just me then. I use it in a clean room after locking the house up. The fact I happened to save one ad-hoc SQL query now means every time I hit the "New script" button I have an interstitial step where I have to say, "No, not that script, a new one" is frustrating.

    Serious question, what advantage do any of these GUIs have over the CLI provided by most databases? Or for something more fancy, the mycli family of tools.

  Azure Data Studio maybe? https://github.com/Microsoft/azuredatastudio https://github.com/Microsoft/azuredatastudio
