As a fairly new user to Oracle products I was a little shocked at how buggy
some of Oracle's Java apps are. A couple of the most annoying things I found
with EM are really simple bugs, like the cursor doesn't show up in
SQL*Worksheet half the time when it's opened, or how EM it goes off into
never never land when trying to alter a schema with the user still logged
in, even though the session has no locks. For the most part I don't bother
with it and just use sqlplus.
