If Microsoft adds an option of storing parsed output to table for extended events, it would make more people to use extended events.

Tell me if I’m wrong, but I can’t seem to get extended events to do a quarter of what I can do with profiler. It looks to me like someone started adding extended events in 2008, barely got started, and then got a better offer elsewhere and nobody has ever picked it up to finish it since.

In reply to Michael Büscher. I think it's great that both options exist. It allows for greater flexibility. And some tools still require the output from SQL trace. Thanks for the comment!

Easy consolidation of collected OS and SQL data within Profiler is an option, which most people I talk to value the most. As long as there is no adequate substitution for it, they’ll keep using it. And what most of the hardcore SQL guys forget is, that most DBAs are responsible for way more tasks than just this. They don’t want to parse XML, etc. – they just want to get it done in a quick and easy way.
