Thanks. This is still something I'm researching. I've got a small console app that simply displays data, then does an insert, update, and delete. I plan to zip it up and send it out to some .Net people and ask them what they'd do differently. I want the code to be really, really simple.

They are a little slower, you're a little constrained, and I've read many blog posts where people have had problems doing UPDATEs using them (that last one is second-hand information, I haven't tried it for UPDATEs myself). I'm going to take a wild guess that the majority of people who like them, are building internal applications (again, a guess).
