I really like this because even if you dont like MSFT tools, you can absolutely get a taste of them without paying 69 dollars (I think the cost for a dev license before) and do things like benchmarking/etc with ease.

Now let's just hope SSMS starts receiving pull requests at some point and someone writes other db adapters for SSMS and it becomes something you can use with other engines.

Certainly in the open source community, but MS SQL server is a really nice DB and has been for a while.
