The template-generated code for a MVC5 project requires entity framework for the identity stuff (registration/login).

Entity Framework doesn't play well with stored procs. It's possible to do (from what I hear), but it's a relative pain in the ass.

When Entity Framework decides your database has changed, its "migration" policies can actually cause you to lose data. As far as I know, you can't completely turn off the migration features in EF (honsetly, if that has changed, I'm still not interested).

I have a well-vetted DAL (that easily supports stored procs, and query text) and a much more versatile connection string manager that I like to use, not to mention an app I use to generate models from the database, so I don't need the crap that EF does.

I think MS should have made the MVC5 project template configurable as far as whether to use an ORM (and which ORM), or a homegrown DAL class such as the one I'm using.

I'm old and set in my ways, and don't need Microsoft to help me access my database by forcing me to use Entity Framework.


BTW, I have in fact confirmed that I've completely eradicated Entity Framework from my project.
