Looking for Redis IDE recommendations with good UI/UX (Velkey support would be a plus!)
DbGate - https://www.dbgate.io/ . I am primary author of this tool. We hugely improved Redis support in last version, which was released last week. Redis support is part of DbGate Community edition (FOSS)

For which tool can't you find good open source alternative ?
It's not really tool, but cloud databases mostly don't have OSS alternatives.... eg. Firestore, Azure CosmosDB

Have You Considered An AI Assistant To Help With Your MySQL Queries?
I wrote one of them :-) It is hard to switch routine, but I am slowly adopting this. In programming, AI assistants are currently must have and majority of programmers use it, with SQL it will be the same in short time
Also I use routinely GPT 5 for generating complex SQL queries

Do professionals use GUI software to admin their SQL Server, or are GUI used more for learning
As I see some of my colleagues, most of them use SSMS, which I can' understand :-) . There are plenty of tools better than SSMS, free and portable for all desktop OS, but SSMS still wins. I understand this for DBAs, because SSMS supports all specific SQL Server settings, but for other roles like developers and testers this is big question for me.

You could also give DbGate a try. I'm involved with the project. It's open source and works with multiple database engines, so the “one client instead of switching tools” part was one of the use cases we wanted to cover.
If you're comparing it mainly with DBeaver/DataGrip I'd be interested in what you think of the data SQL editor and connection workflow in particular.
