Pretty sure Entity Framework is the worst thing invented for devs... So frustrating. Hey devrant, what's your tech stack? (Please don't say entity framework. Please?)

entity framework mostly

I think it gets nicer if you use hide it behind the repository pattern and service layer. I have fallen out with it a lot less since I stopped dealing with IQueryable in the business logic.

Not sure what to suggest as an alternative as I've never needed one, NHibernate?

I remember having sooooo much fun with EF

I use EF with c# and it works fine for me, my biggest problem is me.

Mobile apps are appcelerator and the back end is Php i think
