From what I know it's a wrapper library around linq to sql with some additional features for linq to sql, using codesmith as the code generator.

as always with code generation: the meta-data is the key. This means if you don't have proper tools to define your model but just the db system, the meta-data will be of less quality and so will the output (naming stuff, model first etc.)

Our templates for linq to sql are not as feature rich as plinqo's, as we didn't invest much time in adding new features to linq to sql for v3.0, we will in the future. Our designer can still help with linq to sql in a great deal, though, e.g. with easy attribute assignments (for wcf contracts, validation), model first, database maintenance, and working with stored procs.
