A couple things:

- the bling in TP is too much for me. I don’t want or need an overly shiny DBA tool.

- I’ve memorized the keyboard shortcuts in Sequel Pro.

- Sequel Pro seems to handle large imports/exports of .sql files better. I think it’s because Sequel chunks dumps into multiple insert statements while TP does not.

Overall, I’m just lazy and don’t want to learn a new tool that offers the same features.



Fair. I switched from MySQL Workbench to Sequel Pro because Workbench didn't support Percona TokuDB, but I missed safe mode (warn before sending queries other than SELECT/EXPLAIN, by having edit/commit be separate steps). So when TablePlus had it, I switched immediately.
