Pros
Pro Portable version available
There is a portable version of pgAdmin available, pgAdminPortable that allows you to easily move your info between machines.
Pro Tabbed views to accomodate different screen/window sizes
The tabbed browser in pgAdmin 4 is excellent for accomodating different screen/window sizes. If you're on a small screen, the tabbed browser can save you screen estate by displaying the different panels in different tabs. If you're on a big screen, you can make full use of your screen estate by detaching the panels and moving it where you like.
Know any positive aspects of this option?
Cons
Con Resource intensive
pgAdmin4 is a web application. The native binary is a wrapped version of the web app that runs a webserver and web browser, thus it has a high memory footprint and other possible impacts on system resources a native application wouldn't have.

pgAdmin 4
6 years ago
Slow, error-prone, tricky installation. Had clients coming to me after being advised to upgrade that they refuse to use this as it isn't nearly as intuitive as the previous version and they kept having problems. Took ages to convince them that it was just the UI that was bad, not Postgresql itself.

It's slow as molasses, probably due to the developers using a web framework in combination with Python. Oh how I long for the good old pgAdmin 3 ...
