ER Diagram Tool
It would be really cool if RedGate would consider building an ERD Tool that would allow you to visually design your database schema using drag and drop before deploying to SQL Server (either generating the deployment script or deploying directly from the application)

Just want to suggest ERD Lab. Take a look at https://www.erdlab.io (FREE for everyone)
It's an ER diagram tool I have been working on with some colleagues since pandemic started and we just launched. Totally free to use and packed with features. If you take a look you’ll find it will beat every single one of the tools you mentioned in this post in terms of features and speed.
Login as a guest https://app.erdlab.io and get started. No registration required.

@al gruver - SQL Dependency Tracker does just that. It's not an ERD tool in the sense that you can make edits to the diagram and push these changes to a live database, but you can reverse engineer from a database to create a diagram.

I would love to also see the ability to reverse engineer an ERD from an existing database via a Redgate tool.
