I agree with Alan.
In my current and previous places of work we used/use GC as a general monitoring tool and notification system. Adding custom extensions is nice too but when it comes to the nitty-gritty nothing beats command line, especially during those times when there's an issue that hits the db and os at the same time. Also, ever tried to dig and manipulate the trace files data in GC? run root/oracle commands to debug in GC when the db is in a slow or hung state?

I have two main strategies, for general monitoring GC is the tool of choice.
When we have a specific problem in a database I fire up spotlight and toad and do everything from there, it just depends on what you are used to.
Oh, and not being able to do things from the command line is most definitely not a plus. Choosing not to is open to discussion, but not being able... not a good idea.

Prabhu:
all our DBAs are so used to it that they can't do any command line tasks any more.
I hope that's not a recommendation :)
