I love LINQ (the object method syntax not the keyword syntax) and used it extensively in a production application in ~2015-2017. It is easier in many cases to write and read than manual loops. In performance-critical code at the time it had to be avoided due to allocations and poor performance compared to loop-based implementations. However, the new versions of .NET have been reducing this penalty [1], to the point where it might make sense to try LINQ first if it's more concise/clear then only rewrite after profiling!
