Yes MS tools for MS SQL have always been there strong point. Easy to get started and get things going quickly. I on the other hand have never ran into a lack of flexibility with the client APIs or the stored procedure syntax.
In all cases I have encountered we have turned away from MS SQL because the scalability and high availability options have been weak to non existent.

IMO, the weak point of the database (aside from the vendor and the price), is a lack flexibility of the client APIs and the stored procedure syntax. The interesting features are the xml querying, recursive querying, and 'multiple active results sets'. I think MS is laying down a more relational foundation which would allow for such features. They have been working on this product for years and years...it will be fun to see how it turns out.
