Agreed. I just don't find the SQL Server footprint to be anything along the lines of "light". And the limitations in VS Express wouldn't work for those clients where I need to debug against their remote data.

I'm not dissing MS stuff in my comments in this thread; for the kind of work I do, if I want the outcome to be light and not cost the client licensing fees as they get bigger (SQL Express has performance limitations), then I go LAMP. It's also cheaper to find hosting for Linux with mySQL than it is to find Win2K3 with SQL Server.

It's all a balance; not every tool is a great fit for every job. Right now, I have three ASP.Net projects that are active, a PHP/mySQL web site upgrade just completed yesterday, FreelanceLocalTech is PHP/mySQL, and instead of posting this message I should be working on the upgrade to a Linux manufacturing automation application with a VB.Net WinForms front-end. A good developer learns to choose the right tools for each job.
