Is it possible to query Pinot from a database IDE like Datagrip?

haven't used Datagrip.. did you find any issues if you use the jdbc connector

Unfortunately doesn't seem like I can use just a JDBC connector. I only offers me drivers from this list

DataGrip allows to register a new JDBC driver. https://www.jetbrains.com/help/datagrip/other-databases.html

Is datagrip a popular tool that folks use in IDE?

Datagrip's functionality is included in ItelliJ IDEA, but it's also a standalone application that I prefer as my main database IDE

got it, can you file an issue.. looks like its worth adding it
