Could you give an example of that?

Personally, I like LINQ a lot. I don't use it very much in my code (and usually it's for things like light filter or ordering), but it has these little things that save a lot of time.

Be careful what you ask for -- you have to admit that it is possible to create some horrendous "code" with Linq. Also I have a hunch that OP is thinking of L2S or Linq2Entities or somesuch.

Well, horrendous code can be created with anything: LINQ, C#, Objective-C... But yes, such easy-to-use tools like LINQ are easily overused and you end up with real monstrous code.
