LINQ

I've been avoiding LINQ for several reasons. One is that I'm afraid that it would mean all my code and effort went wasted. (Not a good reason I know.) Another was that it doesn't really work with MySql yet. I know there are ways to make it work, but it's not production ready or easy to use.

I read an article about LINQ which was very informative. The bottom line seemd to be that LINQ was great for small databases that didn't change offten. But once you started having large databases or complex data structures it becomes a hassle.

Another article seems to share some of my conserns with LINQ.

But these articles are old. Maybe I'm just looking for something to be wrong with LINQ. My frist reason for not using it so far can be a pretty powerfull modivator. Maybe I need to just give it a go.
