The first time I tried Azure Data Studio a few years ago, I was not impressed because it was a simple copy of Visual Studio Code. The built-in features were primitive; besides CRUD operations, there wasn’t much else. As a result, the tool couldn’t compete with the classic SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS). However, I changed my mind after giving this program a second chance.

Today, I want to walk through the essential features that you’d use day-to-day so that we can answer the question: is it worth switching to Azure Data Studio today?
