Those features/tools are still part of SSMS today.

  Yeah, it's specifically the old applications I miss. They were really well designed, incredibly snappy and responsive. When SSMS was launched it was really slow and clunky on my computer. I switched to Postgres around that time so I'm 20 years out of touch at this point.

    I had forgotten about query analyzer, didn't it exist alongside ssms? I think I used to roll it out when things got really serious

      Query Analyzer was eventually superseded by SSMS but there was an overlap period IIRC.
