I say, unless you are using SQL 2005, don't switch. The new tools got a TON of bugs. What happened to the "script database objects" feature? I gotta do it all separately per object now? Why does SSMS not save my password change when I change the password for the login on SQL Agent Properties / Connections? Why does SSMS use so much damn memory on my machine, and leak memory too?
My advice: Stay with EM until Microsoft fixes SSMS a bit more. SSMS is a powerful tool, just not a quality powerful tool.... at least yet.
