Below are the things that I am currently using. I just re-imaged my machine, and I'll update this list as I figure out what I am using.
In no particular order:
November 4, 2024
| Visual Studio 2022 | |
| Visual Studio 2022 Preview | I usually prefer this since it has the latest Razor language service updates. But sometimes this breaks and you have to go back to non-preview 😒. |
| Azure Data Studio (ADS) | This gets better and better and does not lock-up like SSMS does. There are still plenty of gotchas (multi-cursor) and missing a lot of the right-click features, but it tends to work flawlessly and thus saves me time. |
| SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) | Because there are things that this does that ADS doesn't. Also ADS gives design errors when updating tables like 50% of the time. |
| Azure Storage Explorer | The #1 way to view Azure Storage platform |
| Postman | This is still easier (and I have a bunch of saved endpoints) than .http files in VS. Maybe eventually. Plus, I don't need to open VS to fire off a request. |
