I couldn't agree more. I hate the "noise" generated by SQL Server's reverse-engineering.

I've been coding RDBMS (IBM'S DB2, Oracle, SQL Server) code (DDL and DML) for 30 years. I still use a plain text editor vs. reverse-engineering stuff to check into the source code control system. Yes, I learned long before the fancy GUI "helpers" came about.

Typing it (actually, mostly copy-and-paste with some "find"/"replace" changes) requires me to think about what I'm doing and results in a better (and neater, for SQL Server) end product (DDL script).

I have been badly burnt, to many times to know better, by reverse-engineering software (from numerous vendors). Including a major issue where Microsoft's SQL Server reverse-engineer (generate script) failed to include a CHECK constraint in the resulting DDL. Therefore, I don't trust any of them.
