I don't think I've heard anyone seriously suggest never using a linked list -- the advice usually just ends up being "are you really sure?" which seems appropriate.



Then let me quote the post I originally replied to:

> The way modern memory works linked lists are practically a denial of service attack on system performance.

and

> IMO, like goto’s it’s better to just forget they exist.

That's as close to "never use a linked list" as you can get without saying that literal sentence.
