Admit it...You hate writing CAML queries, right? I sure as heck do.
To minimize the pain quite a bit, I have used U2U's CAML query builder or John Holliday's CAML.NET project. I was browsing the SharePoint tools on CodePlex and found LinqToSharePoint and it ROCKS as well! As you begin to install and really use the Orcas builds, you really should take a look at the evolution of this tool.
To the developers: GREAT JOB GUYS!
