Last time I tried Entity Framework it was slow. Replaced it with Dapper and a simple custom migration system. This took database validation and seeding from 10 seconds to less than 2 seconds during startup on low powered hardware with SQLite. The queries created by Entity had pointless cascade of multiple join statements.
I have been reaching for GO with simple tooling and HTTP back end. .NET is useful for other solutions.
I have had too many issues with their frameworks, like WPF, needing to implement Win32 hacks. Example, .Net 9 was the first Windows version that properly returns all network interfaces. Older runtimes only expose Enabled NICs. I still have to maintain Windows 7 support for some solutions.
