Here are some good news: you don't have to use it. Use Query Analyzer
for all your tasks, and leave Enterprise Manager to rot in a corner.

Personally, I do almost all tasks from Query Analyzer, and about the only
graphical thing there is the query plan. The only thing I do from
Enterprise Manager is to deal with jobs.
