Sql Server complexity

For someone who has worked in PostgreSQL env for a very long time, learning the ropes of Sql server looks like some task. I practice with SSMS everyday, creating DB objects - schemas, tables, views, indexes, triggers, sequences, users, roles. And have noticed that Sql server code is more verbose, complex and not as straightforward as PostgreSQL. The use of 'stored procedures' for modifying column/table name and 'severity level' and 'state number' parameters for triggers was really topsy-turvy. I guess, it will take some time before I get used to the 'proprietary' way of doing things.
