Writing off L2S implies that there was writing on the wall to begin with - as I've said before, L2S was always the weak "link" in LINQ.Not important enough to argue any more IMHO. Though I understand the disappointment of people who invested heavily in technology that looked good to them.
Whether one is using .NET is not relevant to the value of sprocs.Well, you have to access them somehow. I figured that LAMP people were without SP for so long that they got used to other mechanisms. Again, not something that needs a debate.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
