    Good initiative to have a summary of available add-ins.
    Though I prefer not to imagine what will happen to SSMS if you install all of the listed add-ins 🙂

    Thanks for your post, Seabstien.

    I works with 7 addins from this list on regular basis and SSMS works fast. Try it (especially SSMSBoost and Apex SQL Search) and after that it will be first step after fresh installation of SSMS.

    Even the right click on tables in the explorer on remote databases?
    With only Apex SQL search installed I had to wait for ages to get the contextual menu (and sometimes it did not appear at all).
    I googled and found others experiencing the same issue talking about removing the Apex extension. I did it and it was back to normal.
    The root cause seemed to be the several additional queries executed when you were doing a right click.
    It doesn't mean I find Apex SQL search useless, what I did was keep it on an older version of SSMS.
    That way when I need to do a DB search I use the "slow" SSMS, and for daily work I use the "latest and fast" one.
