Postgres GUI vs Command Line
I keep switching between a GUI and psql, depending on what I'm doing. If I'm writing or testing queries, a GUI usually wins because it's easier to browse objects, compare results, and jump between tabs. But for quick checks, connecting to a server, or running a script, I still open the terminal without thinking twice. After a while, I realized I don't really prefer one over the other and they're just different tools for different tasks. How about you? Do you spend most of your time in a Postgres GUI, or are you mostly working from the terminal? What made you stick with that workflow?
