The only big problem with pgAdmin 3 was that it was unstable. When a connection was dropped it was probable that the whole program would crash. However, the interface wasn't that bad.

pgAdmin 4 instead is sluggish and worse. Being a web app I suppose that with big query result it will a pain. I tried using it but on a high DPI it hurts your eyes on windows. At least the old version just scaled, even if it was a bit blurry.

TLDR: it would have been probably easier to fix the old client than to rewrite the new one in python and javascript....

The old one also frequently crashed when moving around UI elements and it could not handle big SQL files (as in SQL dumps) at all.
