One of the things I like about EntityFramework is that you write LINQ, which odds are these days every C# dev should be familiar with. So, standby a few gotchas (which SQL has as well), the code you write to query an in memory collection is the same code you write to query the database. This also makes it fairly easy to test because you can create in memory representations of your data and check you filters, projections, orders etc.
