Many people love Datagrip because it's got the polish and style of Jetbrains' other products. Others hate it and much prefer the more classic designs of DBeaver or the browser UI of PGAdmin.
I think it's worth downloading the 30 day trial and giving it a quick whirl. The people who dislike it seem to get hesitant quite quickly, so I doubt you'd need more than a day to decide if it's for you or not. There are all kinds of cool and fancy plugins you can set up, but I wouldn't bother with that if you decide the UX just isn't for you.
It supports quite literally every database I've thrown at it, which is pretty nice.
The way it support projects is also rather useful to me as a developer. Most SQL tools seem to be focused on being an interface first and maybe having a few SQL files open second, but Datagrip's basis as an IDE makes it very easy to maintain collections of scripts (version migrations etc).
That said, I'm not sure if the 99 bucks (a year if you want updates, though you get a perpetual license for the current version) is worth it. I use it because it's part of Jetbrains' all products pack, which I paid to use other IDEs, essentially giving me Datagrip for free. If you're not already a Jetbrains customer you could definitely give it a go, but the value per dollar it provides is very different.
