I realize my needs probably differ from yours, as I'm not a developer, but a DBA. I use toad for most things except writing code. For that I have notepad++.
I've found that some of the plug ins and capabilities of notepad++ far outstrips TOAD... now I could only get a way to connect to the db for testing, it would be the perfect software.

To be honest, though. I tend to write most PL/SQL in notepad++ and put into the database through the object manager in APEX... which is the only thing I currently develop.

Cheers
Alan.-
