MySQL Workbench is one of the most unstable applications I have ever used. It hangs or crashes 5-10 times per day.
MySQL Workbench is unstable and the interface is also not very good. If someone thought that Oracle would improve the situation, well... wrong.
Pro:
It is for free.
Build in ERD tool.
Some nice extra features.
Cons:
It separates the design/data and the administration works so it trends to be less friendly than other tools.
The interface is tricky at best. Sometimes the interface stop working, the buttons simply do nothing, windows that refuse to work or to close and such.
Uses a lot more resource. Example (Windows 64 bits): MYSQLWORKBENCH32.EXE 132MB versus SQLYOG.EXE 32MB
Very easy to export ER Diagram to SQL Query
Very useful, pretty good interface and connection to remote databases
