My needs are pretty basic, so it's been fairly smooth sailing so far. I love that I can use EF to generate join tables without needing to create entity classes for them, while still retaining the ability to customize field/table names and such. Back in the day I transitioned from coding to management in the period where Linq to SQL was being phased out, while EF was still very half-baked, so I've had a healthy dose of skepticism picking it up years later. But so far I'm quite impressed (while double checking that every query generates reasonable SQL).
