EF bloating

I just read a post from Cibrax aka Pablo M. Cibraro and remembered my old post on the “LINQ to SQL is dead” news.

Especially the quote:

They made a good work teaching us about how evil Datasets were for interoperability with other platforms, and now they came up with a solution like this, no way.

Priceless…

On the topic from Cibrax’ post, I could not agree more, I am a strong believer in the explicitness of service design and the WCF “opt-in” approach. How else would you know what is on the wire!? Similar to how you would choose ASP.NET MVC over classic ASP.NET WebForms if you want complete control of your HTML. Similar even to WCF vs. ASMX (on a high level).
