Re: [pgadmin-hackers] [Design Update] Visual design of query editorand results table

Agreed on all the responses thus far. The ability to distinguish values ranging from thousands to tens of thousands to millions, etc., is substantially harder if numbers are left-justified.

When we first released pgAdmin 4 we forgot to right-justify numbers.
Users complained. Lots. They need to stay right justified.

Right justifying makes it substantially easier to understand magnitude and makes it easier to get decimal alignment.
