Toad for Oracle sucks. I hate, yes HATE, that UI.

I don't like it either. SQL Server Management Studio is very good in that regard.
Do you know if you can get the equivalent of Object Browser from SQLSMS side by side with the query editor in Toad?

Not for toad but SQL developer for Oracle has that. It's better than toad IMHO.

It's just you  No, seriously the UI can be quite cumbersome but it has a lot of functionality. However, if you want, give the Sql Developer[^] a try.

That's what I resorted to. Apart from that crappy intellisense, it's better that toad.

Well, that is generally the opinion I hold, but I will admit that in the latest version it seemed a bit better. It takes a while getting used to some of its nuances, but I once I learned them, I was able to actually get stuff done without the tool being in the way, which is the important thing.

All those rows with millions of buttons on them, you deserve an award, Sir. I get lost in that always. And when I click on wrong thing, it takes generations for toad to become responsive again.

Nevermind the UI - I learned the hard way that one thing you do NOT want to do is rely on Toad to compile packages/procs... I worked a contract a few years back at which I was going back and forth between Toad and SQL*Plus (Toad for the GUI, SQL*Plus for robustness) and at some point I discovered that you CANNOT rely on Toad to fully compile every time; it sometimes leaves packages in this stupid half-compiled nether-nether state. It would say that it compiled without error but then at runtime I was getting all sorts of squirrely behavior. FFS.

You can't possibly be insinuating that the UI is a wee bit cluttered?
Have a look at PL/SQL Developer[^]
I've been using it for years, and I'm quite happy with it.
