I didn't know about some of these customizations, so thanks!

How do you feel about SSMS compared with Azure Data Studio?

I spend much more of my time on the application side (rather than the data side), so there are things I don't use that a DBA or something working with data a lot would find lacking in Azure Data Studio.

I've mostly been using Azure Data Studio because it's cross platform and works similarly to VS Code, which I spend a lot of time in.

ADS also sometimes feels a little snappier? I'm hoping the extensions ecosystem for ADS grow like it has for VS Code - working with extensions in SSMS and Visual Studio is sub-par ☹.

Nice! Glad you found something useful in there.

I haven't used anything Azure as my workplace is all in on AWS. We use a small SQL Server instance to run stored procedures as when we rolled out Redshift this wasn't supported so here we are :D

Sounds like your experience with ADS would make for a good blog post.
