My understanding is the MySQL Workbench 5.2 has the core 5.1 modeling features as well as the new Query Browser. The Query Browser has been easy to use but the feature functionality is still in the alpha phase. Adding the Query Browser in the 5.2 release adds a nice dimension of being able to look at the data model, physical table and data very easily. So far I have found the tool very intuitive and have not had to spend any time figuring things out. So far I have not done any benchmarking on the product.
New Query Browser
Reverse Engineering Feature
I used the reverse engineering feature with the Sakila sample schema and it was point and click and the data model was built in just a second. Notice the ERD diagram in the top left, hierarchy of schemas and objects on right side and detailed table definition at bottom left.
