Because in all the times i've bitched to various people about Visual Studio, not a single person has mentioned it until now. And i'm talking about MS Support people and the people at Partner services. They should have known such a product existed.
When we were told we had to lose EntMgr, we were told then that we had to get used to Visual Studio - that's the only way to manage SQL2005 databases. No one on the SQL List has mentioned it either so they probably dont konw about it.
