Personally, I think it's great even for crud...It's an order of magnitude faster than things like EF/LINQ2SQL

I've also used BLToolkit, and it is pretty fast too, plus it has Linq support to build strongly-typed queries that sometimes better than raw SQL queries. But when it comes to table hints, Linq and other stuff does not help. So, it always depends :)

BLToolkit and the replacement (linq2db) are great. Excellent performance and it has some excellent developers contributing.

Agreed. And really it's pretty simple to get it working and start using it even for straight crud - much easier than EF or other heavy ORMs, I think.
