>I am going all the way. The developer experience around MSSQL is untouchable. SSMS and VS with sql projects runs circles around contemporary entity framework crap. Sprinkle in 3rd party tools from vendors like RedGate and you can replace multi-million dollar consulting packages.

Try Postgresql. I was previously SQL Server and the move has been great.

SSMS doesn't offer much over alternatives, both PGAdmin and others. VS is dying, VSCode is the future.

Redgate doesn't offer anything that is essential or not available elsewhere for postgresql

The money you spend on Microsoft licenses could be put towards more ram on the server.
