Why is Action/Func better than a regular Method in .Net?

Question

I much prefer using an Action or a Func if I need a quick reusable piece of code, however others on my team don\'t like them or understand them.

Pros

• Closures
  
  • This does not help your case though.
• Super-private methods -- only the defining method can call it.
  • This is easily countered with the Single Responsibility Principle though. You're likely combining what should be a different class in an entire method.
• Callbacks
  • These can also easily be methods.

Cons

• Readability is lessened, in my opinion, because of the excess indentation (I'm not a fan).
• Debugging becomes a little harder because your call stack is less intuitive especially when you have multiple Func/Action's defined.

You'll have to over come the cons in your environment.

I'm curious about your "more up-to-date coding practice" argument. Just because you can do this as much as possible doesn't mean you should.
