Initially when MySQL decided to focus their attentions onto workbench, I ha=
ve to say I was a little peeved. The whole thing seemed to be a bit of a mi=
sh-mash and the initial versions (if you could even get them to run) were u=
nstable and seemed like a lot of work had gone into pointless features.

The old GUI tools individually I found very useful and I contributed a grea=
t deal to bug reports on them and helped where possible to suggest improvem=
ents, so naturally this position of feeling all this work had somewhat gone=
 to waste, especially when it seemed the replacement was inferior. (I do se=
em to recall moaning as such on the lists at some point!)

However, I have used a couple of previous versions of workbench in the 5.1 =
and 5.2 series and progress has been extremely good. I am now using it for =
most of the things I used to do with Administrator and Query Browser and it=
s functional, stable and surpasses the original programs in some ways, whic=
h if development continues will be all ways.

I'd therefore very publicaly like to congratulate the whole workbench team =
on an excellent job well done and look forward to more feature in the futur=
e!
