When choosing an ORM, is LINQ to SQL or LINQ to Entities better than NHibernate?

Question

I find I can do more with NHibernate, and even Castle than with the Linq to Entities, or linq to SQL.

Am I crazy?

Answer 1

No you're not crazy. nHibernate is a full OR Mapper, Linq to SQL and Linq to Entities don't implement everything you'd expect from an OR mapper and targeted at a slightly different group of developers.

But don't let that put you off linq though. Linq is still a pretty good idea.. Try Linq to nHibernate :-)

Answer 2

The big drawbacks to NHibernate, Castle, etc., is that they're not exactly light-weight (especially NHibernate.)

Linq to SQL is good for a light-weight, limited use ORM.
