When was the last time you checked in on C# land? It's getting a lot better lately. ASP.NET MVC with Razor, Nuget, and the JUnit/NUnit-like test framework in Visual Studio are all in that line of thought. For something Active Record-like, historically more mature--and somewhat less ponderous--alternatives to EF and LINQ2SQL include NHibernate (FluentNHibernate is nice) and other approaches like Simple.Data, PetaPoco, etc. Oh yeah, migrations have been notably absent, although I've tried a few like FluentMigrations, which is nice but "out of process" enough that I find it terribly easy to neglect.
