sqlplus worksheet definitely is a different product than 'ordinary' sqlplus. Ordinary sqlplus has always come with a command-line/dos like version. sqlplusw is the executable running under windows, and sqlplus for running under dos.
The obvious reason NOT to use svrmgrl is it doesn't support command editing, and it is not going too. No if only would Oracle iron out syntax differences between svrmgrl and sqlplus...
