It's a bit of an exaggeration...
with one statement you create a UI which automatically change when your data change and at the end... you got your data just there, up to date... no need to reconstruct with some data attribute... no need for jQuery create dom or read value or wire update event.... saves a lot!
like doing WPF the WinForm way (use event on each property change and create control manually when needed) (this is jQuery)
versus doing it the MVVM way...

They say beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I'd say KISS is in the same eye. When you first encounter it, a lambda expression is anything BUT simple. I can see how, as you become more familiar with it, lambda can become beautiful. I'm not there yet, maybe I'm too old a dog. The simpler the code, the less likely to be buggy. So, a lambda statement should be less buggy. Handing it to someone who doesn't know lambda to maintain is a recipe for disaster.
Right now I'm reading 14 page printouts of SQL code without a single line of documentation on what it is trying to do, several to provide data to it, but no documentation on what it should return and it is all self-contained string manipulation. I think I'd rather be struggling with 80 characters of non-understandable code.

My 10 year old nephew is currently on holiday in Florida.
When handed a twinkie he turned to his mother and said "What excuse for a croissant are these?"
Bless!

I don't see how Dave is any more or less a troll when seen from this side of the pond.
I mean, he is a prolific poster, but his posts are not just twatter material, unlike some faux east Europeans...

One hopes the little chap pronounced it correctly. Nothing worse than mis-pronunciation of the frog-tongue to our atlantic neighbours.
(And he should probably be chastised for not asking "What excuse are these for a croissant" but one can forgive them before the 11 plus, surely?

Greetings Lord David of Dalek,
I'd like to suggest that whilst your relations are in Florida, they ask a local where they can get fresh catfish with hush-puppies. And, hope they don't miss out on having grits (hint: add lots of butter, and pepper) for breakfast.
cheers, Bill

Well, thank goodness. Here in United in the Dumbing-Down of America we have "crescents."[^] 
[edit] Although, I suppose I shouldn't be so hard on Pillsbury, as croissant does mean "crescent." Still...[/edit]

You do know the story about how Pillsbury named their product 'crescent' rolls, don't you? They were originally going to be named 'croissants'. As it turns out, there is a French ministry responsible for ensuring world-wide respect for all things Français. When they heard of the impending product release a conniption of epic proportions ensued, accompanied by a round of miscommunications and posturing by various officials. The end result was a narrowly-averted declaration of war by France against the United States in general, the Pillsbury company specifically, and for some odd reason, a baker in Hoboken New Jersey. To calm the ruffled feathers, Pillsbury offered to change the name. Tensions eased, and moms everywhere (well, in the U.S. anyway) began making pigs-in-a-blanket with wild abandon.

No, and éclair is made of choux pastry, made with hot water, the cream donut you get in the UK is the same as a twinkie but has the jam too, its common enough, I used to love them.

went to this website to enter a competition for the wife. here[^]
entering shed loads of info about yourself is bad enough, but the DOB field gets me.
Clicking on it pops up a calendar, defaulting to today's date. You can't type into the text box, you have to select from the calendar control (as far as I can see, anyway).
And the calendar control can only move one month at a time.
FFS - I need to click more than 600 times just to enter the flamin' competition?!
I'd better win!
**EDIT** You can actually type into the text box - it's just hidden by the pop up.
