You didn't step on my toes, don't worry.

I'm just writing that even the people who have used InterBase
and/or Firebird since its first beginning use GUI tools these days...

Database Workbench and others included, of course.

In my opinion, ISQL is a good script runner and a tool that's
always available when installing Firebird at a customer location,
but for your own development: well, use the tools that do the
job and don't make things harder on yourself than they already
are.

:-)
