For admin stuff, most devs uses mysql workbench its 28 MB and has alot of functionality.

If it doesn't have to be web based you could use MySQL Workbench - which I think is more capable than the web GUIs.

Overkill and slow.

It's not overkill if you're a DBA or developer.
And if you're smart you install it on the machine you do admin from and not on each server.
And you did ask for the best...

Actually, no I did not. Read the OP again. Don’t forget the title of the thread.

A fat client is almost always overkill and slow. But MySQL Workbench is a total piece of crap.

The web tools you are talking about also requires a web server and a php installation so they're not exactly "thin" but you want something simple on a LAMP server or similar. I get that.

MySQL Workbench has it's place too. It's to MySQL what SQL Developer and Enterprise Manager is to Oracle DB. I find it useful and use it almost daily.

MySQL Workbench has very little use to me as it is such a heavy handed client. Yes it works. No I do not like it.

For a client on Linux, I prefer Azure Data Studio actually. It is lightweight and lets me work without being in my way. It is based on the VSCode backend to my understanding. If it ever gets MySQL connectivity it will be perfect.
