I use 100% linux. vim, vim-dbext, subversion to exit/exec/store .sql files. psql for db administration.
Same tools can be used as easy on a close database as one thats very far away.

Some at my company prefer pgAdmin. It works for them. I use psql, it works for me. Best thing is: they both work, so you get the choice.
