Cons
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
Con Unmaintained
The creator stopped working on the project, it is in need of maintainers.
Con Written in Electron
Con Only installable through npm
Horrible package manager that is not allowed on our servers.
Con No plugins
Con Buggy
Sqlectron is installable and that's about it. You can't actually add servers to connect to in the app, making it a 200 MB paperweight.
