Datagrip.

I honestly still cannot understand why their database product does not show the encoding/collation for fields in mysql (and has no way to do it either).

I disagree. I use it daily as my tool to manage data in MySQL, Postgress, Sql server and Db2 databases, and it's probably one of my favorite JetBrains tools. As a Linux user there aren't that many good options available, and I am very grateful that they added this product to their line.

Why/when use datagrip instead of just the database view from intellij idea?

The Database plugin from IntelliJ and Datagrip is essentially the same. My guess is people like to have separate tools based on their purpose and Datagrip serves that need.

For a standalone app, DataGrip is just too bloated and slow.

Native apps like TablePlus is so much faster to work with.
