Of course Oracle is harder than MS Access and SQL Server. It's a real database not a desktop toy. And yes it is from the Unix world. Windows is crap as a server. Hmm... let's see the last time I had to reboot the database server, last year sounds about right. Let's get the windows jockey's out to reboot once a week so your systems won't crash and burn.
It's not meant to be visually pleasing it is a database. It is meant to store data relationally and move it from place to place, fast! In addition to the database SQL*Net (the networking protocal for Oracle) blows the doors off of ODBC and OLE or whatever other crap you guys use to connect to SQL Server.
So the database is faster, more scalable and can return data fast to the client. Sounds good to me. If I understand you correctly, your complaints are based on that you don't know how to do something so therefore it is bad. You obiviously aren't real coders and don't understand databases, so therefore all databases are bad.
You think Oracle's tools suck, try Teradata's but yet it can do things SQL Server, Informix and Oracle can only dream of.
One last note, you guys also don't get paid crap. When the box and OS to run the system on only cost a few grand, employers have a hard time justifying your salary. When the technology is expensive, paying an individual well is easy to accept. Everybody can run windows, that was the point. Get a job only the smart people can do.
