• I really enjoy using SSMS with SQL Prompt. I write hundreds of lines of code each day and really will enjoy more focus on making SSMS better for the future.

    For report development, I still use Report Builder 3.0 for quick ad-hoc reports even though I do have BIDS. This is obsolete to me because there are too many good reporting solutions available to us that are taking this area by storm. It's only a matter of time before I convert everything I've done in SSRS to either MicroStrategy or Tableau in the next few months.

    However, I do wish SSAS got some love. I see huge potential there if they made it better for data mining. But, I think MS has been focusing on Azure ML and other avenues if I'm not mistaken?
