Yeah, I usually use sqlplus too. But, I'm trying to do some large scale digging 
about in a database that's about to go production and I didn't build it. Was 
hoping for a handy dandy tool that would let be flail about faster than typing 
in SQL. Which is truly strange because I usually find hammering sql on the 
keyboard to be much faster than point and click and click and point and ...

I was wondering this too since nothing on their website or mailing
lists says anything of the sort.

I'm a fan of Oracle SQL Developer, although it still has some
java-related quirks (slow startup, sometimes leaves artifacts on the
screen).  I'm *trying* to rely more on sqlplus these days, and the
column ... format command is my new best friend.  Obviously doesn't
help you much though.
