Goodbye Sequel Pro. Hello Sequel Ace.

I've been using Sequel Pro for AAAGGEESSS. At some point in the last four years (I'm honestly not sure exactly when) it apparently died and was reborn as Sequel Ace. This makes me very happy, as there was a very brief period of time where I thought I was going to have to use MySQL Workbench.

I'm reasonably proficient with the command line client for MySQL, but I vastly prefer to use a GUI to interact with a database when I'm doing DEVELOPMENT work. In production I stick to the command line. It's more of a hassle so, perhaps incorrectly, I equate that with being less risky.

I imagine MySQL Workbench would have been fine, but why go through the pain of learning a new tool if you don't have to and haven't found a compelling reason to do so. Am I being too resistant to change?
