It's handy for poking around now that the GUI tools are available on Unix platforms, but I do most of the work in plain old sqlplus. You just can't go pick through tens of thousands of objects looking for problems with a GUI. Much more efficient to write a PL/SQL script to do it.
On the down side, it allows someone without the proper training and experience to act as a DBA. I've seen many big messes as a result, especially on NT platforms.
