Both. StackOverflow official blog mentions they are mixing both Entity Framework and Dapper. [1] [2] Specially with larger projects, I generally find that ORMs can be good enough for 90% of your code. It also enforces strongly typed models, and makes it easier for refacorting, and finding where the models and variables are being used. The 10% critical section of the code, where performance is more sensitive, SQL is acceptable, and needs to be carefully looked at/reviewed.
