I use quickdesk. I used 1.7 version and now I use 2.0
I used also Marathon
and Interbase Workbench.

I prefer quickdesk for some graphical and useful addins (such as
transaction control
over every window for example).
While IBWorkbench and Marathon are based upon IBO,
QD is based upon FIBPlus the competitor addon library for IB.

Of all these the only one open sourced is Marathon,
the other cost a bit, but I think that these dollars aren't a cost but an
investment
for the maintanance of yours and your customers databases.
