Not Windows-only anymore. Microsoft is releasing various tools such as SSMS for Linux too.

No, currently, it is windows only. Maybe, someday, we can say it's not windows-only anymore. But not today.

Even then... you don't need the DB and SSMS to be on the same box.

The installs are on separate ISO's now if I'm not mistaken...

I believe so yes, it's still not a terribly pleasant experience but WAY better than it was.

I'm wondering if MS will go the electron route for SSMS, considering how well it's worked out for VS Code.

VS Code now has an extension for querying against MSSQL that's cross platform.

Still missing several things that SSMS has, but it's a nice start!

Very nice, I was actually meaning it would be a nice to see a full-blown application similarly... just the same, nice to see the extension in VS Code. Consistently impressed with the application, but would like the original multi-doc behavior back over tabs.
