Why does LINQPad use LINQ to SQL under the covers, rather than Entity Framework?
LINQ to SQL is faster with large schemas and in most cases, emits better SQL. You can, however, use EF with EDMs that you define yourself. For querying SQLite and MySQL (via the optional plug-in), LINQPad uses Matt Warren’s IQueryable toolkit, whose pipeline for converting LINQ into SQL is currently unrivaled.
