Is SQL*Plus a must...*really*?

I'm using Oracle7 on Netware and have not seen anything in the FAQs or sales literature that convinces me I absolutely must have SQL*Plus.

I'm not interested in its report-generating capabilities, and it looks like SQL*DBA in screen mode is capable of running SQL and PL/SQL "scripts".

Can anyone tell me what SQL*Plus provides (other than what I view as fairly primitive report-formatting capabilities) that I can't get with SQL*DBA?

Thanks in advance,
Glenn Strohm
