Well 'Oracle' is a pretty 'cute' name. You don't use any those products?

As for TOAD it is useful. It simplifies many common tasks and puts them all in one place. This is particularly useful for infrequent and/or new oracle developers. Sure you can do everything that TOAD does with SQLPlus, and you may even prefer it, but there are plenty of people these days that want a point and click environment.

The free version of TOAD has a particularly good price to performance ratio.
