Just backed this. As a former postgres person who's now using mysql, it's hard to explain in words how bad the mysql client is. I'm really looking forward to a better mysql client.
I am the creator of the kickstarter. I'll be happy to answer any questions.<p>I created pgcli (<a href="http://pgcli.com" rel="nofollow">http://pgcli.com</a>) for Postgres a few months back.
