Pros and Cons

Pros

Syntax highlighting
Easy to configure
Cross platform
Buffer storage in the event of accidental closure
Easy to customize UI
Display data in table
Display table and field layout

Cons

Better notifications of updates. Email in addition to popup.

Allowed for quick ad hoc data queries for C level to management to make timely data driven decisions.
Allowed for the testing and development of queries for report systems such as Argos and Cognos.

Usability

It's better than all the other products I tested.
