This was the first software I used/learned right out of college. I only had exposure to Java for a semester and picked this up right away. I use many other programming languages and SSMS has a fantastic interface. I am in analytics and use SAS, R, Python, and SPSS and still go back to my roots in SQL. I download SQL Express, which is free, for my local data manipulation and storage. I enjoy how they are always updating the interface to be "slicker" as it makes the experience a little more exciting after every update. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
