Been there, done that, am suspicious.
Having worked extensively on Sybase, SQL Server and PostGreSQL, on Unix/Linux and Windows environments, I hesitantly welcome this news.
Although the tooling for SQL Server is pretty good, I find that encourages users to engage in the 'click dance' of left click, right click, third item down, go. I consult to a multi-million pound company who had kittens when I wrote a script to move a database and it's logs onto another drive, instead of looking at the familiar SSMS interface that "Is the database".
And there are of course the licensing costs; servers get downgraded to poverty editions whenever possible and functionality removed. Every week, a new business problem is answered by "You can do it in PostGres"
Detaching from the tooling encourages clearer abstract thought that actually addresses the objectives. (That of course can apply to any other Visual Studio-eque "I used the wizard" scenario).
There's a reason that my current big EU project is using PostGreSQL; we need employ noone to be the license monitor and we can sleep at night knowing that our back door won't get kicked in (fnaar) by the license police demanding spurious recompense for some arcane technical reason. That and the JSON/HSTORE datatypes and the Javascript/Python/SQL/R et al stored procs.
