Except mentioned gq, which is quite fast, although buggy a little bit, I'd recommend also ldapvi tool (under shell, actual editor configrable via $EDITOR env variable, can use other than vi if you wish), and excellent eclipse plugin for ldap directory - slow, but magnificent, includes ldap filter editor, built-in userPassword encryption, automatic decoding of base64 strings and more conveniency-oriented features It's named Apache Directory Studio, and stand-alone version (without full eclipse) is also available.

There are others too: http://www.openldap.org/faq/data/cache/270.html http://www.openldap.org/faq/data/cache/268.html
But unfortunately most of them are unmaintained. I'd not use these even often recommended:
- Gawor's LDAP Browser/Editor (bugs in DN handling)
- gq (AFAIK rather unmaintained)
- even JXplorer has bugs regarding schema handling leading to situations
where you can't do anything right (attribute types with more than one NAME in it, try an entry where 'uid' must be set on OpenLDAP).
Which one you prefer depends on what you really need, e.g. who's going to use it.
Ciao, Michael.
P.S.: Regarding "best": Being the author of web2ldap I'm biased... ;-)
