Camlex.NET

Camlex.NET simplifies the creation of CAML queries: http://camlex.codeplex.com/ It’s not very popular yet, but it’s interesting. It seems to be offering an easier, more familiar way to construct CAML queries on the fly using lambda expressions and a fluent interface. Not sure how this compares to SPMetal, which requires you to generate classes beforehand before you’ll be able to use Linq to query object structures (which then get translated to CAML). At first glance SPMetal seems to be even easier, because it supports strong typing and concurrency conflict resolution. Tell us what you think?
