I was always ORMphobic person and especially I afraid EF. This framework lets you think query DB is easy and you don't have to dig into details, but it always turns out you have to know how the DB works plus you have to learn how EF works internally. I am trying to stick with micro-ORMs, like Dapper or something like SQLBuiler. Raw SQL is no good too.

I don't use ORMs any more. I found that at some point you're always fighting the ORM to do something with the data that it doesn't like.

I just use SQL these days. Way better. More boilerplate, but that's not a bad thing.
