The server pgadmin is used primarily by those of my customers who are using Windows -- mainly as a workaround for the fact that the performance experience of the desktop app on Windows was horrible. On Mac I don't think I've seen anybody choose the server version if it's a primary tool for them (some still have a shared pgadmin for people who only touch it at very infrequent cases, but it's not common). On Linux, I see a mix. -- Magnus Hagander Me: https://www.hagander.net/ <http://www.hagander.net/> Work: https://www.redpill-linpro.com/ <http://www.redpill-linpro.com/>
