Very good. It's not trying to do everything, like EF or NHibernate; it just makes certain tasks with raw ADO.NET a lot easier.

I looked in NuGet, and there's a crapload of dapper-related stuff in there. What's worth getting?

I haven't used it, but I understand that there is an article in next month's MSDN Magazine about it (should be on the site on Monday). Julie Lerman (she of much EF writing) liked it.

If Julie is s fan then that is a pretty big endorsement.

Yep. It's relatively easy to use, but also not too powerful. It does a good job of abstracting away the database, but not much more. At least it's not a memory hog and does not slow down things too much.

This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

EF 6 has more optimizations than before, and is more powerful IMHO then 4 or 5. Any reason why you can't use that?

It's from Microsoft.

Well, that is not really a good reason. You have to have a better reason for that, I would think.
Our shop/company has been using EF 5 and 6 with great results. We recently went to Code First, and I like that too, despite my initial hesitation...to change.

Dapper is written in C# which is from Microsoft too

I rest my case.

C# is simply a copy of java, but without the cross-platform capabilities.

I'm no Java guy but observing the news Kent posts about Java language development it looks like the table has turned and Java becomes a copy of C#

I just finished a small project running ASP.NET 5 on a Docker container running Ubunutu hosted in Azure
Exciting times ahead I think

It's always been a good reason in the past. And I like living in the past.

What do you use instead of Visual Studio?

I use edlin to edit my code, and manually compile everything (yeah it takes a lot longer, but it's hella efficient code).

Wow, that looks like the hard way of doing things[^]

Most things that are worth doing start out hard. And that's true for so many things in life.

Besides all of the above, I didn't ask if anyone had used EF.

BTW, a few folks claim that Dapper's faster than EF6 - so I guess there's that.

It most certainly is - but that's apples and oranges.

I have heard of Dapper, and that is about all. I have the most experience with EF but I am not going on the record to say that it is the best. I'm sure there are applications best suited for Dapper.
I found this to be interesting. The conclusion at the end is the most important. Dapper looks to be faster in a lot of respects. Interesting.
