Re: Critical bug: pgAdmin v4.25 has started ignoring my "Browser Command" which completely cripples me and makes me unable to manage my PostgreSQL database. - Mailing list pgadmin-support

My company relies on PostgreSQL and pgAdmin, as do thousands of other companies, I'm sure.  Since most of our customers have been with us for a long time and have stable installations, we have not been upgrading them to the latest PostgreSQL version, and therefore, most of my experience has been with pgAdmin III.  Nonetheless, I have been less than impressed with it.  It freezes or disables commands at random times.  Not enough to prevent me from working, but enough to make me think that the development process has not been rigorous enough.

Eventually, I am sure that we will be migrating to modern versions of PostgreSQL and therefore to pgAdmin 4.  I've glanced at it.  My initial, uneducated impression is that changes were made from pgAdmin III for little reason other than change itself.  I would have much preferred to see it keep the same UI rather than moving to a browser.

But because PostgreSQL is such a successful database platform, used by thousands upon thousands of mission-critical applications, it is incumbent on the developer community to ensure that its administration tool works well, and that upgrades do not break existing features.  If, as you say, we should not count on the developers of pgAdmin 4 to ensure that upgrades do not break existing features, then please suggest a professionally developed, professionally supported alternative that we can pay for and get the quality assurance that we, as professional developers and users, should expect.
