I enjoyed the article and the discussion.

MS has lots of nice goodies and its the way of the future so I tend to use it and only drop back to EM occasionally for DTS. I will give the feature pack a go now. MS still has plenty of room for improvement.

Some things I miss are:

. performance

. cant turn off that (almost) useless summary page

. does not allow you to open a file on a current connection - when you open a file you are forced to a new window/reconnect and attach to database.

. does not have the spinning globe icon for connections that are busy executing long queries
