On my first cursory glance: no table designer, no execute stored procedure GUI

There's a lot of little things I wish SSMS had/did (like inline text search for sproc/table) and was hoping this would have it. The execution plan screen (explain in this IDE) is a lot cleaner, though.

What do you mean "inline text search for sproc"?

I use a combination of SQL Hunting Dog http://sql-hunting-dog.com/ (quick search all object names) and a SQL script from the (free) SSMSBoost plugin that looks at most object definitions but not table columns unfortunately. I've used Red Gate's SQL Search in the past but it's always been slow and buggy over the VPN.

If you're looking for a better execution plan utility, check out SQL Sentry's Plan Explorer. It's free.

In the object explorer just some text input that would filter accordingly. Some of our databases have a TON of tables/sprocs and it would be a nice convenience.

SQL Hunting Dog looks exactly like what I've been wanting, thanks for the recommendation!
