SSMS: T-SQL Intellisense Addins

I have had my eye on a few of the T-SQL Intellisense applications that have shown up since microsoft excluded intellisense from the T-SQL part of the Texteditor in SSMS after beta 1 of Sql Server 2005. I even went so far as to having a bash at creating one of my own (I will include my own attempts in a future blog - for anyone who might be interested). I have had a look at SQLPrompt, albeit version 2 (I hear a version 3 is due for release soon) and I found it too annoying to work with on an everyday basis. The biggest problem was that it kept on trying to authenticate which drove me a little crazy. Yesterday I decided to download the beta of SQLAssist (SSMS) and have been suitably impressed so far. One of my colleagues thinks it is "The Nuts" but I am not prone to handing out such glowing compliments until I have had a better look at it. So I will be working with it for the next week or so and will report back on what I think and maybe include some of the features I have found to be very useful.
