Grokker, ThinkMap, and others are all very nice to look at, everyone's eyes open wide when they first see them, jaws drop sometimes, but I feel that in the end a tabular, ASCII or _simple_ GUI displays work best. On the other hand, some of these companies have managed to survive for a long time, so somebody must be buying their products. Another company in this space is Antartica Systems (http://www.antarctica.net/), where Tim Bray used to be the CTO.</p> I agree.

There's an entire phylum of startups based on "We're going to take X, and make it easy to use", where X = data mining, DNA mapping, quantum mechanics, filtering pron out of battellemedia.com, or whatever. Most fail.</p> Over the years, the database tools market has been beaten down into a fine powder, so I wouldn’t bother much with yet another data visualization tool.
