Toad

The author of Toad had a very distinct non-interest in Java, or any other
development language that isn't Delphi. He was VERY vocal about this in
2001 when a Java performance thread erupted in the internal email system
at Quest Software and his team was included in the distribution list. At
the time, the VP of operations asked the relevant managers to engage in
disciplinary action against those that still participated in that email
discussion after "Toadman" said he did not want his team getting any
emails about anything other than Delphi. That was something like four and
a half years ago. I don't know what the situation is now at Quest, because
I left there a month after 9/11.

Kind of a narrow attitude, but in 2001, I would probably have agreed that
Java was not a good GUI solution, overall. However, I would love to have
TOAD today running on Linux.

Since most Oracle deployments are on Unix or Linux based platforms and Java
is predominant language/platform used in doing Oracle Development today, I
would rather go Unix to Unix than Windows to Unix, which can be a pain.
