Maybe Entity Framework. It's been a while so I don't remember a lot of the details, I just remember it being really opaque, mysterious, slow, and just annoying. I don't like ORMs much in general, but Entity Framework has to be my least favorite.

That being said, just pay me enough and I will use it ;)

What do you use as an alternative to Entity framework?

I don't use .NET much these days, but in JavaScript land I typically like to use Knex, and raw SQL when needed.

They have refined it now and put a ton of effort into it. It's now as fast as direct SQL queries because it supports direct queries now.
