I remember the first time another developer mentioned LINQ to me...he said it would change my life. I wouldn't go that far, but man...when I moved to writing Apex code it was frustrating not being able to pluck a single (or group)of objects from a list with a single query.

As far as stored procedures go...they confused the heck out of me the first time I encountered them. Then I decided to start tinkering with them in some throw away projects to understand them at least a bit better. I still struggle a bit with joins, but honestly, I really haven't needed to use them much thus far so I pretty much chalk it up to lack of real exposure.
