If you'll pardon the insult, I supose that is why TOAD has kicked butt over **all** other products. TOAD users are listened to and their requests implemented within days. And it doesn't seem to affect new development whatsoever since new releases are still very beefey and every three or four times a year. The other part is "fit with our corporate or product strategy." The Toad team doesn't ask such silly bereaucratic questions. They ask what the users want and provide it. I know that is a unique idea in software development, providing what users request despite marketting weenies and the suits and ties, but it has made TOAD the tool it is, #1!
