That really depends on what you're doing. I use a Windows front-end to MySQL (ursql from http://www.urbanresearch.com/ursql) every day all day to get at several databases. It's not MS Access, but urSQL allows me to use the same interface to query data on my MySQL database and my MSSQL database and my Access database. I also use it frequently to export data in a variety of formats (HTML, Excel, Text, etc.). Of course not everyone wants to manually query or export the data.
But urSQL is only one front-end, there are now several others available with varying feature sets. Note that none of them are Access, although if you like it that much, you can actually link MS Access to MySQL. Anyway, have a look at the MySQL documentation for several available clients. Several of the available clients meet the needs of many users, so I wouldn't necessarily discredit the usefulness of MySQL in a desktop environment for this reason alone...
