I know. The command-line workflow for publishing SSRS reports is awful, the SSIS packages use that crazy graphical programming language and are hyper-brittle, and Management Studio still calls all its tabs sqlquery## until you save them and uses a moronic non-standard regexp for find. So many obvious bone-headed things an open development process would have taken around back and shot. It marrs an otherwise-great and featureful platform.

Someone needs to come in and send some people packing and tell the rest to get with the program. For how central MSSQL seems to be to MS strategy going forward, there sure are a lot of things that still just suck.
