"dotnet tool exec" is not that feature; you're thinking of https://devblogs.microsoft.com/dotnet/announcing-dotnet-run-... which they added to "dotnet run". "dotnet run my-cool-thing.cs"

"dotnet tool exec" is so you can run third party command line tools like csharpier that previously required "dotnet tool install" before you could use them. For example, in https://csharpier.com/docs/Installation you can now simply do "dotnet tool exec csharpier". This is like "npx" in the JavaScript world.

dotnet run *.cs is my favorite new feature for scripting. It has basically replaced powershell for me. It's trivial to script powerful operations now.

I guess LinqPad will lose some users to this feature.

This isn't LinqPad's selling point. All that dotnet run *.cs has done is remove the need to have a project file for each "script" you write.

LinqPad maybe has this feature but it's selling point is as a scratch pad to experiment with working with data and general futzing around.

The .NET team said they're working on VS Code integration. LinqPad still has some unique features (mostly database related), but at least for me, VS Code + dotnet run will be sufficient for my needs. Worst case, I can just throw a breakpoint on my database IQueryable result.

Ah yes, that's the one I was thinking of. Got confused by this article.
