Can you expand on what exactly you mean by LINQ? Do you mean the .NET library support (extension methods on IEnumerable/IQueryable)? Do you mean the language features added to C# (anonymous types, expression trees, nicer lambdas, query syntax)? The language features, with the possible exception of query syntax, seem like hugely beneficial additions, to me.
