Why do you "hate" it? (such a strong word!) My only complaint is that I need to invalidate the connection every time I don't query anything for a few minutes, otherwise the next query hangs for like 50 seconds. But apart from that, I think it's great, especially for a free product. And the project is very active, it gets a new release about every 15 days.

Not the best editor for schema design I would say. MySQL workbench is great in that respect. Wish something of that sort existed for other dbs.

I have NOT come across connection invalidation problem though.

Sounds like you messed up the connection settings, I have never had this problem using DBeaver for years across companies.
