Overall Satisfaction with Visual Studio IDE

We use Visual Studio for our Business Intelligence needs - creating SSIS packages, SSRS Reports, and SSAS Cubes. Other departments use it for creating dynamic websites using JavaScript and HTML5.
  • SSIS is easy to implement and update.
  • Integration with TFS and GIT is easy.
  • The command line interface isn't very responsive.
  • Having to search for the missing SSRS tools menu is a pain.
  • It's made making changes a lot easier.
  • The tasks in SSIS are evolving and making it simpler to use.
There are so many places to look, it's sometimes confusing where to find the answer you're looking for.
