I too find SQL*Plus excellent. I far prefer it to SQL*Navigator, TOAD, and the rest of that lot. And the reason is that I am looking for raw productivity writing code.
If all one is doing is write command line SQL statements the others are fine. If all one is doing is creating stuff and they don't know the syntax the others are fine. But if the point is to write a 1000 line package ... nothing beats vi or notepad, and SQL*Plus.
