But not as well as Intellisense with Linq. What do you find bad about Linq (except the fact that if's not SQL :-} ) ?

As Craig says, Linq syntax (from X in tableA select X.y) means intellisense can limit the options for .y to members of X.
SQL syntax (Select X.? from TableA) inherently means you are going to have a far larger list of options for y to choose from - with many being offered that are invalid.
