unhappy with MySQL workbench 5.2

Is there a better option for windows out there? I come froma MS SQL-Server environment so something that's similar to their editor would probably be most preferable.

I don't think there's a better option for you if you have to work with MySQL.

I agree with you: MySQL Workbench generally could behave much better; some operations simply produce no output leaving you wondering what happened. If you're used to Microsoft SQL Server, you'll likely miss the capability to run several queries in one code editor window, producing several outputs at the same time. This is the biggest usability drawback, in my opinion.

There are some things MySQL does better though, so it's a mixed bag.

What capabilities are you looking for. MySQL Workbench evolves really quick and the 5.3 should be out fairly soon.

I don't think there's anything comparatively good unless you simply use phpmyadmin...

The 5.3 should be out soon with its load of fixed bugs.

What don't you like with it. Maybe I can help if I understand.
