Linq2AzureSearch
Beeing able to utilize LINQ in order to search in indexes just like LINQ2SQL looks like. The codebase would be simple to write, simple to read and analogous to LINQ2SQL query. Linq2Lucene project (https://github.com/themotleyfool/Lucene.Net.Linq) defines a very nice interface for fast time to market.
The Database context would be replaced with a Azure Search context that would wrap all REST based and JSON making the developer only focusing on the most important, Search.
Similar, delete and updates would be handled the same way a Linq2SQL handles it in the codebase.
Time2Market for Azure Searchbased inventions would be furious.

I have just release a toolkit for Azure Search which also includes a LINQ provider.
The package is named AzureSearchToolkit and is available as a NuGet https://www.nuget.org/packages/AzureSearchToolkit/.You can also check out the source on https://github.com/nkovacic/AzureSearchToolkit.

Moved everything over to ES now. Linq queries - better query types (and aggregation style queries).
