why i decided to stick with linq-to-sql over linq-to-entities

Recently I tried, I really tried to like L2E, but I just can't do it! It adds layer upon layers of extra crap I have to do over L2S while offering little to no improvements over the soon to be deprecated ORM. I am officially sticking with L2S until they get L2E better developed. Now I am hardly the first person to write about this, but I feel my concrete examples are somewhat helpful when trying to decide.
