Is SQL Server Management Studio 17.1 compatible with SQL Server 2016 (Developer Edition)?

Question

I've installed SQL Server 2016 Developer Edition , because Microsoft states:

SSDT database projects in Visual Studio 2017 currently support up to SQL Server 2016. Support for SQL Server 2017 will be coming soon in a Visual Studio 2017 update.

My question is: Should I install exclusively SSMS 2016 or SQL Server Management Studio 17.1 is compatible with SQL Server 2016 Developer Edition as well ?

Answer 1

Thank you @ scsimon for giving me an air of confidence.

I've installed SSMS 2017.1 . It's compatible with SQL Server 2016 , it works like a charm and, to be honest, it is much faster then SSMS 2016 .
