>feels like an abandoned project

HeidiSQL feels like a finished product to me. Really no complaints at all and if you actually take a look at the commits, you'll see that the SINGLE developer puts in a whole lot of effort.

The guy is great and calling the project abandoned is really not fair.

Yeah, creUsNa is right, definitely not abandoned, just maintained by one person. And credit to Mr. Becker, HeidiSQL is a fantastic project. I used it for most of my time at my current job, where I came in as a junior developer. My boss and his guys have been supporters of HeidiSQL for years, so they pointed me it to my in my early days.

I'm not sure if it is just an issue with my machine, because others in my office still use Heidi and don't report the bugs I am having. Small as they are, they got annoying enough for me to start seeking alternatives. I would still recommend people giving Heidi a spin if they've never tried it.

Thanks for mentioning this, I will also give DBeaver a shot instead of HeidiSql
