I actually had the same kind of discussion with Laszlo Boszormenyi regarding sqlitebrowser[1], which is another Qt-based SQLite GUI frontend. I'm not sure sqlitebrowser is more advanced or mature than sqliteman (it is definitely not bug-free), but still I found it useable over the last few months and I packaged it because I thought it was a good idea to provide an SQLite GUI frontend in Debian. It entered the archive yesterday ; maybe you should give it a try. I would definitely appreciate any feedback you'd have on sqlitebrowser as compared to sqliteman. Also, Laszlo told me of an SQLite backend plugin for Gnome Data Access[2]. I haven't tried it yet, but this might also be somthing to look at. Anyway, I'll definitely take a look at sqliteman (and of course let you know of any feedback/comment I have on the package). Thanks for your work on that!
