We have a whole department of DBAs, *none* of whom have Microsoft on
their desktops.

Further, the Big, Important Systems that we administer consciously
hide behind firewalls such that the user interface Shall Be Usable Via
SSH.

Purty graphical tools just don't appear on our radar as being
interesting.

Any times I have been involved with Oracle or Informix, much the same
has been true: telnet/ssh has been the conduit to the user interface,
which leaves graphical tools pretty useless...

I know I didn't, which ought to be a legitimate counterexample.
