I got a taste of Navicat (Paid Software) and I wish I hadn't because being able to control everything in one place with a good SSH support and wide support for all including SQlite and Redis in a unified interface, being able to transfer between servers and take dumps at the comfort of a single software feels like a blessing.

I suggested the Navicat team to put in Redis support in 2020 and they put in a ticket to their Dev team. And in 2023 they added support for Redis and emailing me back saying they did it and released it. I was kinda in disbelief and happy. But, I love their backup and restore option

Paid software can be good, the problem is that the incentives aren't for it to continue being good and improving over a long period of time. The paid products that are able to maintain quality and vision are the exception.

People's interests are fleeting. Someone may be dedicated to doing something right for years, and then have kids...

    It's different because if free software "dies" there are no victims, if there's community interest in the project you just fork it. And having kids is of a completely different nature than having to appease investors quarterly.
