As product manager for one of the tools listed here, I am no doubt 
biased.  I do, however feel very strongly about two things. One is that 
you should use the right tool for the job at hand and each of the tools 
has its merit in specific areas, so you need to research and find the 
one that suits you. Second is that we, in the SQL Developer and Data 
Modeler development teams at Oracle, want to build the tool that works 
for our customer base. To that end we monitor the OTN forum and have a 
feature exchange where our customers request and vote on features. Each 
of our releases thus far have included a long list of feature requests 
that have been driven by the community.
We currently have SQL Developer 3.0 in an early adopter release cycle.  
This process allows customers to review and feedback on a new release 
before it's production.  I'd encourage any of you reviewing the product, 
to look at the latest release and also to get involved in the OTN forums.

Regards
Sue
