I prefer vim (or gvim if I'm in windows) to screw up my statements...

Although I think I've missed 90% of this thread due to how busy I am, Dan's 
last choice is one I think is really valuable to those taking a SQL Plus class 
and I'll just take it just one step further-
-  Learning how to generate dynamic sql, no matter if it's ddl or dml.

If I see one more person in MS Word or Wordpad using the replace option and 
screwing up statements.  It's just painful to watch... :D

I vote yes, but how important is it to a DBA to know the SQL*Plus specific 
commands?

Only important if you want to format reports so they are readable.

... or spool to .csv
... or accept input from the operator
... or declare defined/bind variables and use them to set the value of PL/SQL 
variables

I sure many here can add to that list.
