LINQ is a much nicer SQL IME, at least for CRUD operations — but I generally don’t use the “objects” part of it except for very rudimentary insert/deletes. However group by specifically seems to be a hack, and it falls on its face in weird ways almost every time I use it. I’m not sure how much I like it’s “AST rewriting” model, but it works great when it works. Just the LET command alone justifies it
