Fluent and Query Expression — Is there any benefit(s) of one over other?

Question

LINQ is one of the greatest improvements to .NET since generics and it saves me tons of time, and lines of code. However, the fluent syntax seems to come much more natural

Answer 1

I really like the Fluent syntax and I try to use it where I can, but in certain cases, for example where I use joins, I usually prefer the Query syntax, in those cases I find it easier to read, and I think some people are more familiar to Query (SQL-like) syntax, than lambdas.
