Dave,

I've been following along at home and agree with you right up until you
mention the MySQL CLI being usable. I work with the thing every day. The
plain, vanilla install on my Ubuntu laptop lacks proper readline support.
Hitting ctrl-c will sometimes kill the running query and sometimes kill the
CLI. Its far from a paragon of usability. That last time I used psql it
didn't have any of those issues.

Full disclosure: mysql does have proper readline support on a Centos
machine I have access to. ctrl-c still kills the shell.

Your other points are good though.
