No.

I tried it, didn't seem worth the trouble.  The only 
reason I could think of to use it would be if my
only access were via the web.  But if that were so
it would mean that I was connected via VPN and could
easily work from a server with SQL*Plus installed.

Since 9i+ SQL*Plus can run sql scripts via a HTTP
server, I've copied all of my sql scripts to a local
Apache server and have even less need for isqlplus.

isqlplus is also somewhat limited compared to sqlplus.

There is no comparison.

See above

No clue.  I'm not sure why they bothered.  Most likely
one faction of the dev team wanted some some GUI sticky
I/F for sqlplus and created isqlplus.

On the other hand the cmd line gurus just put in the
HTTP ability the sqlplus now has.  Much better.  Command
line and http too.
