I've only used phpMyAdmin but then I stumbled upon MySQL Workbench that looks promising.

I wonder if someone has tried it out and could give your thoughts about it compared to phpMyAdmin.

Could it replace phpMyAdmin completely?

Could it replace phpmyadmin completely?

Yes it can. Actually you get much more control in Workbench, especially on the administration side. Probably the main advantage of phpMyAdmin is in its web user interface, which in some cases can be more convenient than the Workbench client.
