"Surely, it's not going to rain today?"
And she replied, "Yes it is, and don't call me Shirley."
That was when I realized: I'd left my phone in Airplane mode.

Why did you call her Shirley? Surely you could have avoided it?

I'm not a fan of LINQ. I love functional programming but .NET's enumerator paradigm is not up to the task. It creates too many objects too quickly to be a real grown up functional language, whose iteration is highly optimized because it's a first class operation.
I've benched LINQ against hand written pseudo-functional operations that do the same thing. It was not encouraging. For things that make heavy use of functional computation like parser generators, where your LINQ query might be half a page, it's a Bad Idea(TM)
Worse, I think its use has been over encouraged by Microsoft. It makes green developers write even worse code, and makes it harder for a seasoned developer to understand the performance implications of the code they are writing (and I'm not talking about bit twiddling here, I'm talking about figuring out your Big O expression)
I tend to avoid its use, preferring - at least in C# - to make my iteration operations explicit and long hand. If .NET had truly optimized iteration paradigm - one that didn't create new objects for every single iteration operation** - i might consider using it.
** yes i understand that LINQ combines multiple operations into a single iteration *sometimes* - in practice it's not often enough to make up for the overhead of enumerators.
Now, there's a case where all of the above doesn't matter, and that's PLINQ.
Theoretically, for a large enough operation, that can be highly parallelized, the overhead of enumerators suddenly isn't the biggest part of the performance equation. What I mean is it essentially pays for itself. Also, given the issues with synchronization and other cross task communication (is your operation clustered over a network?) enumerators are actually not a bad idea since you can lock behind them or RPC behind them. Contrast that with C++ iterators that are usually lightly wrapped pointer ops and you realize their limitations fast: In order to enable all of the stuff you need to make iteration operations work with each other in parallel you have to wrap every iterator operator anyway, making it as "heavy" as an enumerator in .NET, not counting the general overhead of running managed code.
So basically, PLINQ is where LINQ finally covers its costs - where it reaches the point where its advantages outweigh its disadvantages.
All of this of course, is one developer's opinion.
And some of this doesn't necessarily apply to business software, where performance almost doesn't matter for most scenarios.

Coming from you that doesn't surprise me.
You strike me as someone that has an almost ruthless contempt for "frilly" things as they apply to programming.

Now what is the big advantage of linq?
It is smart to query things like one queries in SQL.
But more it is smart it allows to query in a kind which is tested. Of course we rely on that test the same we rely on the compiler that it compiles correctly
Nothig more and nothing less

Most probably hard to understand what written above

That testing aspect is definitely one advantage, but I'd just as soon write the "functional" code long-hand and write the *tests* using LINQ to verify them.
