It literally just took me four clicks (one of them a double-click on the database server in the tree pane; so, yes, if you want to get pedantic, I pressed the trackpad five whole times) — inclusive of launching the app — to issue a query:
1. Launch the app
2. Double-click the db host to connect
3. Dismiss the dialog box prompting me to install the server instrumentation tools
4. Click the SQL magnifying glass icon in the toolbar.
That third click could be eliminated from ever being required again with the addition of checking the "don't show this dialog box again" box before dismissing the dialog.
So, best case, three clicks — four if you click on the "OK" button on the password dialog, instead of hitting enter. Yeah, PgAdmin isn't the prettiest tool on the planet, but demonstrably false hyperbole is unbecoming.

Click OK on the login screen even though it's set to "Store Password". 6. Click to select the proper database. 7. Click to magnifying glass. 8. Find the query window, which has a tendency to show up in really awkward places if you remove your second screen, click to drag it back somewhere useful, such as visible on your screen. It feels like ten because of all the steps that are totally unnecessary. Sequel Pro, by contrast, doesn't have a separate query window, you never need to find it, and will connect automatically. PgAdmin seems to ask an awful lot of stupid questions, and there's no way to turn them off. The "Don't show this dialog again" setting for each, as you mention, would help a lot in this department.
