SSMS Review

1) The tabs labels are useless.  They are not wide enough to show anything exciting, for example, I see “server01.databa_…Query1.sql”  The tab label should be wider or we should just have the file name.

2) F5 doesn’t always behave, sometimes it start “Open Project” instead of execute.  Fortunately ctrl-E works the same as F5 did in query analyzer.

3) Object explorer is just about useless because it takes 50% of the screen.  25% of the space object explorer now takes up is white space.  The object explorer heirarchy is 6 folders deep, so with all folders open, this becomes full page of diagram.

4) I can’t sort views by name in the object explorer.

5)  I have to register servers twice, once in the “Register Servers” section and once in the “Object Explorer” section
