There are many methods for managing AWS. The web based management console provided by Amazon is very nice. They are constantly changing and tweaking it. I find in most cases this leads to a better end user experience.
The command line based tools are also useful. If you have a Amazon Linux instance, the tools are installed and updated by default. Setting up the tools for use in the Windows scripts is also straightforward. Developers also have many options with numerous SDKs.
I found ElasticFox is very helpful from a systems administration viewpoint. ElasticFox is a plugin for Firefox. There are many versions of this floating around, but I feel ElasticFox-ec2Tag is by far the best. They keep it updated and keep it working for the constantly updating Firefox.
It can be downloaded here:

Download the xpi, Open Firefox and go to Tools > Add-Ons
Drag the xpi file onto the page and follow the instructions. Firefox will prompt for a restart
