Have a look at DBeaver <https://dbeaver.io/> – I use the Eclipse plug-in, but there are stand-alone (free) versions,
too.

Has it met all your needs?

There are, but make your life easier and learn to use psql:

https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/app-psql.html

It ships with Postgres and runs close to the database. Saves you the 
time tracking down the issues that the GUI transformation code introduce.

Adrian,
Much as I love it, psql is not what I would call a management tool?

Adrian,

We have a multi-terabyte cluster in production which we manage using psql.

Locally I use IntelliJ IDEA for development (has syntax highlight, code completion, introspection etc.). IDEA has a PostgreSQL plugin which is only commercially available, and uses the same components as DataGrip, AFAIK.

Why not?



All the nice buzzwordy things: dashboards, alarm bells, point-and-click drop downs for config values (with tool tip descriptions of what they might do), coffee dispenser.  Things some feel they need in a management tool.

Ahh, the boss screen. Where you look like you are doing something when 
you are not.

If you need these things, I'm sure there's a budget somewhere for investing in available commercial tools, some already mentioned in this thread.
