What do you expect this tool to do that isn't covered by sqlplus and sql developer?

I don't know what you mean by "specifically for pl/sql".
There are tools like TOAD and PL/SQL Developer which are a lot like sql developer.

Which version are you interested in? Generally speaking, newer versions are bundled into Developer Suites, and older ones are not available for download any more (as they are desupported).
