Does anyone actually love their MySQL client?

question

Serious question.

I’ve used tools like DBeaver, TablePlus and others over the years.

They’re powerful, sure.

But I never felt like: “This is perfect for my daily MySQL workflow.”

So I started building a lightweight open source MySQL client focused on:

speed

•	clarity

•	minimal friction

Not trying to replace everything.

Just trying to make common tasks smoother.

What would make you switch to a new MySQL client?
