>Are computer professionals still using MS Windows?
Yes, we use MS Windows with PgAdmin to connect to PostgreSQL on LINUX systems.

It doesn't sound like anyone is ignoring the problem but some issues are
harder to fix than others. If pgAdmin4 isn't working for you, use something
else. No one is saying you have to use pgAdmin4.
While you are accusing many people of having something wrong in their heads I
have observed that you are the only one that is flipping out over the issue. As
I stated in a prior message, I was dissatisfied with pgAdmin4 on Windows so I
got pgAdmin3 for Windows and PostgreSQL 9.6 from another vendor that is
maintaining pgAdmin3. No need to panic. Still getting my work done. When
pgAdmin4 works well (and it's getting there and it's definitely not the worst
performing software that I use on a daily basis), I'll make the switch.
Another way of looking at the situation is that someone has to test the
software. It cannot be up to David alone. There are many people doing this and
not flipping out about the issues but simply presenting them to David so they
can be fixed. It's a process. No software is perfect on every machine and
platform before being released. There is no way for David to test every
possible scenario and he has explained that already. It takes a community of
cooperation to make it right.
I hope you can find a solution that works for you while David works out the
bugs in pgAdmin4.

It doesn't seem possible to get through to you. Whatever you spent those one
million dollars on, it sure as hell wasn't related to pgAdmin in any way. More
like very heavy drugs, if you think this is even acceptable for
pre-pre-pre-alpha software. It's literally *unusable*. You get it? UNUSABLE.
Anyone who claims otherwise must have something wrong in their head.
Are you just going to keep on this charade or actually fix the problem? Do I
have to switch from PostgreSQL to something else just because the admin tool is
broken beyond the point of being usable to anyone? This is insanity.
There isn't a monopoly on GUI admin software for PostgresSQL. While it has
its quirks I find PostgreSQL Maestro to be quite functional for my needs - at
least the ones I don't solve by writing scripts and executing them via psql.
The server is going to function the same no matter which external
administration/client tools you choose to use.
I rarely used pgAdmin3, I found it to be "too graphical" if that makes sense,
and haven't tried pgAdmin4. My scanning of this mailing list leads me to
believe what you are saying is reasonably accurate even if your tone is not:
there are a number of active discussions on this very topic on this mailing
list right now.
