The people best qualified to pass verdict on T-SQL, or any other tool, are the people for whose use it was designed. The right to debate and argue with developers at Microsoft about how they've built products is not the sole the preserve of academics, trainers, MVPs, and other assorted members of Microsoft's "inner circle".
Make sure you don't run afoul of the "Redmond does no wrong fun club" even if you make valid criticism.
I questioned the choice of PowerShell as the core scripting language coming from my decades of scripting and development experience on another redgate forum and was told basically to shut up and enjoy the ride.
So I'm struggling to jump through hoops writing in a Yet Another Syntax. (Already working in VB, VFP, C#, Python, JScript and TSQL, not to mention other tools on other platforms....)
:crazy:
