I wrote an article and published it today on InfoQ, called ADO.NET Entity Framework Taking Some Heat. It is about the recent petition put out by some industry folks concerned about the soon-to-be-released version 1.0 of the framework, called ADO .NET Entity Framework Vote of No Confidence.
I was a little reluctant to published the article with fear of taking a side and not just reporting the facts. It is a good battle with two sides who are clearly passionate about their work.
