Can anyone recommend a real, quality, professional level mySQL GUI for

KDE, Gnome, whatever. Doesn't matter. Beggars can't be choosers right.
Something along the lines of SQLYog (Enterprise ideally).
I'm kind of disappointed that I can't seem to find anything.
They're all
either some Admin tool designed to setup users and all that stuff.
Yawn. Or
they're so limited, I might as well just use an XP VMWare and a
windows GUI
client instead.
Sadly SQLYog has no intentions of porting to Linux :-\
mySQL Query Browser is for the most part useless. It's v1.1.18 and
gives
almost no benefit to using the CLI mode. You can't sort by clicking
headings. They UI is awkward to use. You can't even set the font
sizes, so
it's HUGE (at least in my KDE it is).
mySQL Workbench is "Alpha", and I couldn't even get it to connect
to the
localhost server (despite the other tools in that package "work")!!?
phpMyAdmin is wonderful -- for a Web UI tool. But not very
practical for
serious development.
Anything else in my search is either equally amateur or simply just an
inactive or dead project.
How is it that mySQL is effectively a Linux native tool for all
intents and
purposes, yet there isn't nearly the level of GUIs for it that
there are for
Windows?!
(Sorry Daevid, I neglected to send this to the entire list)
After searching around, I settled on AquaFold's Aqua Data Studio 6.0
(www.aquafold.com). I've been using it since version 4. It is a
Java app, but it is very professional and works real well. I use it
on my MacBookPro as well as my Linux boxes.
Not cheap though. $399 per license. However, it is the best thing
around. The license allows multiple installs, but you are only
allowed to run one at a time. This is a nice convenience. It also
supports many databases besides MySQL. Again, expensive but worth it
in terms of productivity.
