Fair enough - I do almost everything from command line too. But I do really 
like the OpenBase GUI. There are nice tools for tabular ascii import (which 
can otherwise take quite a lot of fiddling from the cmd line), nice tools for 
working with user permissions, nice tools for setting up backup schedules, 
replication, monitoring load, and viewing the schema and data itself. The 
latter can be done ok with EOModeler, but when I add up all the time it would 
take to do everything else via script/cmd line, I can see how much time I 
have saved.

I am definitely not knocking the cmd line - I just recognise a good set of 
gui tools when I see them.
