Because it goes against the usual strict rules of strongly typed languages. It is only natural that this happens.

var is still strongly typed as it has to be assigned at initialization and cannot be a return type. It makes LINQ so much easier to use.

Because you knew the type beforehand? I used dynamic a couple of weeks ago and lived to tell the tale. If I'm being honest with you I think that Object would have done the trick... but it felt so right.

I sigh whenever I see Java code go a similar way. It makes it so hard to see what type is meant to be where, and introduces the potential for all kinds of bugs. Can't stand it.

It depends on your use case. It might be very well a good choice. But use it only if really really needed, never use it for convenience.
