Pros
Pro Clean and pretty UI/UX
The default color is dark and comfortable for the eyes.
Pro Multiple Query Tabs!
The multi-tab and multi-SQL-runs are great. It's always good to be able to compare results in one window instead of having to go through and re-run stuff.
Pro Fast Auto-complete
Pro Multiple Databases
They only support 2 at the moment (MySQL and MariaDB) but their social site says they'll be updating with more DBMSes in the near future which is pretty nice because I hate learning new GUIs~
Pro Cross-Platform
Not sure about Linux but it works on Windows and Mac just fine!
Pro Free!
Pro Easy to use
Way less confusing than other DB managers, and has a simple tabbed interface that feels more like VS Code.
Pro Free and Open Source
MIT License!
Pro Postgres
I use SQLite, MySQL, and Postgres, and Beekeeper supports all of them!
Pro Autocomplete
The autocomplete is useful but not obtrusive
Cons
Con Requires creating an account
Requiring an account is rare on SQL IDEs...
Con Still in beta
Con No visualization
Con Not for a DBA
It's great for web/app developers who interact with a database, but if you're a full time DBA you probably have better powertools available
