I come from a heavy C# background. I can say that MS has been revising their Entity Framework platform and it's a perfectly good ORM tool to use. Being stubborn and old-school, I prefer the lower level roll your own approach for speed and efficiency. That said, if dealing with an enterprise application where ease of code mendability/adaptability is key, I'd happily go with something like Entity Framework. It would be interesting to see if code generation tools have progressed in this domain at all. I remember several data layer class generators which although not exactly an ORM, could provide many of the same benefits.
