The WOBuilder and EOModeler that come with the Windows deployment of 5.2.x work well enough to get by, at least for me. They certainly have their quirks and bugs, but I've learned to do the things I need without running into those, and they're not much worse than the existing tools for the Mac.
For those starting with 5.3.x who don't have the Windows-based WOBuilder and EOModeler, there are some options. First, WOLips does include some WOBuilder functionality, though it's not drag & drop but instead text-based editing with autocompletion and validation. It's not done, and has it's own quirks for now, but should improve and be a decent alternative to WOBuilder (a few already prefer it).
For EOModeler, you'll either have to use a Mac, or learn to edit the *.plist and index.eomodeld files by hand (which I understand can be unforgiving). There is a cross-platform tool called CayenneModeler in the open-source Cayenne project that can read EOModeler files, but it cannot write them, so that may be a future option if someone can put some time and effort into that project.
