Hans,

I got real excited about SQL Developer when it went beta -- but it still has a ways to go.

There's some basic things they just didn't get right -- like the ability to open a saved pl/sql program to a procedure edit window, and a usable data maintenance grid.

It's still a matter of you get what you pay for -- I hope the dev team follows through on a promising start, but if they can't get basic day-to-day functionality right pretty soon, SQL-Dev is really starting to lose its shine for me.
