I think many (most?) web developers get their start on some shared hosting provider where your only obvious option for managing MySQL databases is phpmyadmin. You have to dig a little deeper to realize you cna use MySQL Workbench, but even then a lot of them disable remote MySQL and SSH so you're SOL.
So for me, at least, it's ingrained in my head that phpmyadmin is the best tool for the job given the limitations of what I've got. Although I recently switched my company's reseller hosting account to a provider that actually allows remote MySQL or SSH, so that's exciting.
