title: Why all the Linq To Entities Hate?
body: <p>I've noticed that there seems to be quite a bit of hostility towards Linq To Entities particularly from the Alt.Net folks.  I understand the resistance to more "drag and drop" programming, but from my understanding, Linq To Entities doesn't require it.  </p>
  
  <p>We're currently using Linq to SQL, and we are using the DBML document to define it (once you get more than a dozen or so tables, the designer is pretty useless.)</p>
  
  <p>So why wouldn't the same approach work for Linq To Entities?</p>
