Contextual menu support
Concise documentation

To offer a complement for the Windows/Linux crowd, check out dbDesigner4 at http://www.fabforce.net/ It offers the same types of features as XERD (from a quick look at Edward's list) and is open source.

I have found some quirks to it, especially in printing, but it does a nice job with reverse engineering and DDL generation/synchronization.

Another Servoy developer (thanks Joel!) got me hooked on Visual Case:

The developer did a lot of work to get it compatible with the default Servoy Sybase install.
