ADO.NET

I've been looking at the new Entity Framework 4 Code Only features, and I really like them. But I'm having a hard time finding good resource on the feature. Everything seems to be spread around blongs here and there, so this make me wonder if it's ready to be used for a serious project?

What do you think? Is it ready for production use or should I use the more traditional approach (EDMX designer, POCO objects)?

Also, I would like to know if there are any features that Code Only does not support yet, compared to the EDMX designer?

What do you think about the Code Only feature? Is it "mature" yet?

Thank you.
