Considered Both Products
DataGrip

I think it blows away mysql workbench hands down. Workbench does have more functionality when it comes managing the mysql instance, viewing performance etc. Navicat is ok, it might be better for new database develoopers. I stumbled upon DataGrip cause it came with jetbrains …
Chose DataGrip

DataGrip is the most widely used software for simplified data management; we can know what is missing and what is leftover. The interface is straightforward and with a lot of security in its use of the system. All this has been its plus point.

It is undoubtedly one of the best database management programs. It dramatically simplifies database management and administration. Its extensive support for various database engines is a point to highlight when we talk about DataGrip; you will like having such a powerful resource much as we do.

If your Source Control Software is Team Foundation Server then skip Visual Studio Code. If you're using GitHub and are creating small projects Visual Studio Code is the way to go. If you need to create a large, enterprise-level application, Visual Studio Code makes it easier to set up interactions between related projects (client & server). If you're interested in getting back to the old way of using the command line to create projects and you know what to enter in the console window then Visual Studio Code is great. Visual Studio Code is a better choice if you don't know the console commands and prefer to make selections from a menu.

Cons
  • Can be a memory hog
  • No free community version with limited functionality

  • Unlike for most languages I have used, Ruby and Rails support available for Code users isn't great. The most popular Ruby extension is unofficial, and leaves much to desire. As an example, code navigation even with language server Solargraph installed isn't as good as IntelliJ's RubyMine.
  • Even there is quite good support for a language or a framework, it is almost never as good as a dedicated IDE for it. In terms of the sheer number of features available, IntelliJ IDEs handily beat Code.
  • Microsoft has close-sourced some of the extensions it develops for Code itself, e.g. Pylance for Python, and that has not been perceived as a good move for open-source.

Solid tool that provides everything you need to develop most types of applications. The only reason not a 10 is that if you are doing large distributed teams on Enterprise level, Professional does provide more tools to support that and would be worth the cost.

Usability
Perfect other than a way to handle saving and re-using queries. A simple/better way of creating a pool of queries for each project or database connection would be very helpful. It is not bad now, just could be a better. I have used Navicat for MySQL in the past it had that feature. It could save all your queries to the cloud and you could use them on any device.

Looking at our current implementation, Microsoft Visual Studio Code is perfect for writing code and performing debug operations. Integration with SVN repository is easy and changes can be tracked effectively. Microsoft Visual Studio Code supports developers to write code productively using syntax check and easy customization. Microsoft Visual Studio Code also provides support for IntelliSense which prompts suggestions for code completion. It is easy to step through code using interactive debugger to inspect the root cause of error quickly.

Active development means filing a bug on the GitHub repo typically gets you a response within 4 days. There are plugins for almost everything you need, whether it be linting, Vim emulation, even language servers (which I use to code in Scala). There is well-maintained official documentation. The only thing missing is forums. The closest thing is GitHub issues, which typically has the answers but is hard to sift through -- there are currently 78k issues.
