Yeah ... somewhat ;) Basic queries do work, but not ready for production use.

But NH has other methods of querying that are readily available. EF doesn't make those as accessible. I was able to put in full text function support in NH HQL rather easily in an app and I don't see that ability in EF. I'm working on a desktop application and the ability to precompile the dynamic proxies would help the startup time of the application. I would love if I could do that in EF, I've done it before in NHi…

Entity Framework has entity sql right? You don't have to use linq?

What things are making DVCS painful?

Usability. [Which isn't to say that there aren't great front-ends, but just that DVCS has a reputation for poor usability and a Microsoft solution that's pretty good and easy to use (especially for TFS users) would likely be well-received.]

I have to use TFS at work. I have to say SVN is much nicer.

What's the second one that pops to mind? And, because I can actually name a second one :p, what's the third?

Plenty of Fish and Justin.TV

Justin.tv does not appear to use .Net [1,2]. You are right about Plenty of Fish, though.

ZocDoc was the company I was thinking of that uses .Net.
