krzys,

well of course one only needs ISQL to do "serious things" with Firebird, but
with other tools you can do serious things **faster**, for example how about
creating SUID procedures for a 50 field table in one mouse click? Or how
about preserving database object documentation in scripts? If you know how
to do the equivalent in ISQL in the same amount of time then my hat's off to
you (and I hope you'll share how you pulled it off).
