So how have you been solving this in the past? Multiple queries chained together?

Just wait until you start using "into[^]".

var categoryRanks = (from gs in geekSkills
  where (gs.ProfileId == profile.Id)
  join s in skills on gs.SkillId equals s.Id
  select new { Level = gs.Level, CategoryId = s.CategoryId } into gss

    SkillLevel = g.Key.Level, 
    SkillLevelCount = g.Count(x => x.Level == g.Key.Level), 
    Name = g.Key.Name });

var categoryRanks = from s in profile.geekSkills
   group s by new {Level = s.Level, Name = s.Category.Name} into g
   select new SkillLevelBySkillByCategory() {
   SkillLevel = g.Key.Level,

  Name = g.Key.Name };

Now, if your table have appropriately assigned foreign keys,

They do, but I haven't set up my models yet with EntityRef and EntitySet.

var a = strings.SelectMany(x => x.Split(' ')).Select(x => x.ToLower()).Where(x => x[0] == 'a' || x[0] == 'e' || x[0] == 'i' || x[0] == 'o' || x[0] == 'u');

Is there anything you can do in one syntax that you can't in the other?

T record = mappedRecords[typeof(T)].Cast<T>().Where(r => r.Row == row).Single();

from T mappedRecord in mappedRecord[typeof(T)]
...

T record = (from T mappedRecord in mappedRecords[typeof(T)]
            where mappedRecord.Row == row
            select mappedRecord).Single();

T record = mappedRecords[typeof(T)].Cast<T>().Single(r => r.Row == row);
