I concur. I select a database from the Object Explorer in the Default Workspace, click the "Query Tool" icon and then enter my query. That way, I bypass the Welcome tab, because the Object Explorer provided all the necessary context.So, can I hide the "Welcome" tab of the Query Tool Workspace, since it's occupying perpetually-scarce tab space? I can't see how I would ever use it. Or, perhaps if it actually let me pick one of the databases from one of my servers (i.e., same high-level information as is currently shown in the full Object Explorer) from a pre-populated list, then maybe I could be convinced to change my workflow to start from the Query Tool Workspace rather than starting in the Object Explorer in the Default Workspace. But at this point, in order to use the Welcome tab, I'm required to re-type all the information that's already known in the Object Explorer... so I don't understand how the Welcome tab is providing value.
You can select an existing server in the combo box at the top, and all the connection info will be filled in for you to use/edit as you like. You can also use it to connect to databases on an ad-hoc one off basis, without registering them in the treeview.
We can probably make it so the welcome tab can be hidden - we already do that for some of the other tabs.
That having been said, I also want to ech Doug's appreciation for continually improving and supporting pgAdmin.
I'm sure I speak for all the contributors when I say you're welcome. Thank you all for the feedback.

It took me a couple of hours to get used to the changes, and at first I thought there might be use cases where one might need a side-by-side interface, but after using it... I can't think of any.I find that "Let's connect to the server" screen an annoying distraction. It can just be ignored and it goes away if you click on a different tab, but from a User Interface point of view, I think you should only get that screen if you click on the 'Query Tool Workspace' and there are no windows open.. Otherwise, it should probably just go to the adjacent tab as it did before the change. If I have windows open, I am already logged into a server, and I am not going to go through another login... Especially since I probably have my credentials saved in the 'Default Workspace' tab, so it's much easier to just expand a server and open a new query window than it is to fumble around typing server names and passwords.As always.. Thanque for making pgAdmin just an excellent tool!--Regards,
Doug
