Who uses .Net in large part due to Entity Framework?

Came across an interesting comment from roji on GitHub: [https://github.com/dotnet/efcore/issues/15854#issuecomment-1877772941](https://github.com/dotnet/efcore/issues/15854#issuecomment-1877772941)

For some extra context the EF team is quite small. Maybe only 4 members. The person who wrote the bulk of the migration code left a while back. Some people are concerned about the lack of resources MS is providing to the project.

I know that EF Core received a lot of negativity up until recent years when it hit a sort of performance critical mass to quiet the haters. But a ton of people also hold EF up as the gold standard of what an ORM can be; particularly when it comes to "type safe" features.

For my part, I had some experience a decade ago using .Net and EF 6 for a couple years professionally. That was my last professional use of .Net until this past year. But I've been wanting to eventually come back and a large driver of that was Entity Framework.

I have used a ton of other ORMs before and since; Active Record, SQL Alchemy, Hibernate(and GORM), TypeORM, MikroORM, and a slew of other "micro" ORMs. Every time I was wishing I was using Entity Framework haha.

So, I'm curious who else has love for Entity Framework? Who has it as a major factor in their being in or sticking with the .Net ecosystem?
