I just found the wonderful ElasticFox, a Firefox plugin that makes working with Amazon EC2 much more enjoyable. Is there a similar tool for Amazon RDS?
Or, rather, what is the best/easiest tool to work with RDS?

AWS console is well enough to monitor and configure the RDS. However we cant change some parameters with AWS Console (like mysql.ini parameters). In that case you have to use RDS Command Line tools.
Still if you dont want to mess with Command line APIs, you can use cloud management systems and use it (free edition) as GUI tool such as RightScale
Here is post you can see how third party GUI tools can be used to work with Amazon RDS
