Scripted migrations have their advantages too:

- they can be stored in a version control system

- your coworkers can run them at their dev environment

- they can be used for automatic deployment

- you can test it in a dev environment before running at a production server. With GUI tools you have to remember and repeat exact steps you did before

- You can review the script or ask someone to look at it

I think GUI tools might be good for browsing and exploring database but not for making changes.
