And The Winner Is…. Our .NET ORM Poll Results

It’s been a full week since we published a poll asking users to tell us which ORM for .NET they think is best.  Although there were some late entries into the field, the the winner with 37.9% of the votes is Microsoft’s own Entity Framework.  Perhaps a more interesting statistic though is that 56% of the votes were against Microsoft’s products.  Here are the complete results which you are welcome to question, bash, and generally discredit in the comment links.

Note that these scores include votes originally cast as “Other”.  Remaining “Other” votes received only 1 vote each and are counted together.

Which ORM is the Best for .NET?

It’s been called “The Vietnam of Computer Science” and debate over which ORM is the best has been known to cause normally docile techno-types to break out into rage fueled fisticuffs.  People have a very emotional bond with their tools and ORMs seem to be particularly precious to those that use them.  So we’re going to throw caution to the wind and ask the big question, Which ORM is Best for .NET?
