Why use it?
Safe object renaming
You want to rename one of your table but aren't sure what objects reference it. Using View Dependencies, you can find all objects where it is used.
It works faster and more reliable
Finding anything in the standart Object Explorer requires a lot of clicking. Sometimes standart viewer works wrong, it can not display object dependencies(for example, if table schema is missing in SQL statement).
