Very true, even some listed at the ms msde site such as dbamgr2k - http://www.microsoft.com/sql/msde/partners/default.asp
But if you're new to MS SQL development, the vast majority of examples illustrating the administrative tasks refer to "this is how it's done in Enterprise Manager".
Edit: - Useful alternatives are also web based versions of enterprise manager -
ASP.Net Enterprise Manager - http://www.aspenterprisemanager.com/
And Web Data Administrator - http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=C03 9A798-C57A-419E-ACBC-2A332CB7F959&displaylang=en
They're freebies, but need to run in a .net app space. I have a localhost site on my pc that runs them, can do admin on remotely hosted servers from it. Also have an install on a regular web site so I can do somethings while I'm away from home. Not as full featured as Enterprise Manager, but not shabby either.
