LINQ to Objects is C#'s (very good) take on Python's list comprehensions, and is awesome. However, that's just providing a declarative, functional way to query/iterate objects--not an ORM. LINQ to XML is likewise also okay, since XML's tree-based model happens to map extremely well to objects in a way that a relational model cannot do.
LINQ is great. LINQ to SQL is actually very good, so far as that goes; it just happens to be trying to do something that I'm not convinced can be done well.
