"It allows us to implement a form of test driven development (TDD) for database-resident code."
"You can install it on every platform. It just works. The other thing is that it's free. And Oracle is committed to the development of the tool, so it has been improving."
"Eclipse can sometimes be a plugin nightmare. Various plugins require different versions of the same plugin running for different reasons."
"I would like to see it extend native support for functional languages like Scala."
"The development of the product needs improvement."

"The competing products have more features."
"The stability depends on what version you're using. There are more successful versions and are less successful versions. For example, 17.3 is less successful. There were many bugs. Now, we are trying to pull all the developers to upgrade to 17.4."
"It would be nice to have the ability to access DBs than Oracle."
"If they had something on the Web then you wouldn't need to install it, just query, like Enterprise Manager."
"I would like it to support background processes better."
"There is room for improvement in the Real Time SQL Monitoring."
"Oracle SQL Developer could improve the speed, it is a bit slow."
