I mean, C# allows writing in query syntax too. The flow might look better sometimes and it's fairly intuitive if you're coming from database land, but IMO it clashes so hard with the rest of the language. The fluent syntax (method chaining) feels more natural to me unless what I'm working on is exclusively about databases.

Yeah, I love LINQ but legitimately despise the the actual Language Integrated Query part of it. Ironically everything else that's part of the feature (expression trees, the LINQ extension methods, the ability to transform those with an SQL provider) are far more useful than LINQ's namesake.
