I suggest very, very strongly that those who use and admire pgAdmin
read through the documentation for psql (http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.4/static/app-psql.html
), the command line client for postgres and also click on the Plugins
menu of pgAdmin to launch the psql Console to try it out.
A great deal of what can be done with pgAdmin can be done with psql,
and, in my opinion, it can be done more smoothly and efficiently.
pgAdmin is extraordinary. It, for example, is considerably better
than Squirrel. But what Squirrel does, and what pgAdmin does to some
extent, is create approximate UML diagrams of tables in a database.
That is extremely useful.

Appendix: The interaction between vim and psql is extraordinary. One
can open a psql session in vim (much preferable to opening vim in psql
IMHO) and do whatever you want to do with innumerable other vim
windows and tabs available containing anything you wish (using MacVim
on the Mac, you can easily have 32 different windows open
simultaneously that are trivially easy to navigate between without
having your hands leave the keyboard)
