Overall both are great, but have different deficiencies

Pros:

  • Fast
  • Hackable
  • Free
  • Keyboard shortcuts

Cons:

  • Doesn't show schemas other than public
  • Requires starting a web server
  • Can't cancel queries
  • No query stats (row count, execution time, etc...)
  • Switching databases requires creating a new connection

Pros:

  • Fast
  • Native OS X app
  • Keyboard shortcuts

Cons:

  • Doesn't show indexes
  • Not free (but only $40)
  • Has bug where sometimes highlighting text in query throws error
  • No syntax highlighting?
