Sheesh people are being pretty freaking harsh. Has anyone actually tried using EF yet?

@PeterRitchie, you managed to misspell Bouma twice, despite the fact that it's part of the URL and clearly printed in the title of the blog.

@aquinas: Frans doesn't stray from controversy (see the legendary post "Stored Procedures are bad, mkay?" http://weblogs.asp.net/fbouma/archive/2003/11/18/38178.aspx ), but most of the blogs kicked to the front page so far haven't been that harsh. They're pretty well-reasoned and rational objections to the EF, mostly from people who have written their own ORM and don't agree with what Microsoft has done. Reading these objections is good, but as you pointed out, there's a lot of academic theory being discussed, and very little talk about real world factors like maintainability and implementation effort. If someone can smack those shovels in the face of EF effectively to the implementors on sites like DNK, EF is in trouble. Until then, enjoy the warmth of the flames ;)
