They make Navicat for MySQL too. I love it, couldn't do without it.

Most developers make the switch to PG because they realize they need
more advanced DBA features that MySQL doesn't offer. If you're not
missing these features, why bother?

My $0.02.

*Cue PG fan trashing MySQL based on technical merits here*
