Eh, nobody wants to transfer rows to DTOs by hand.
My personal opinion is that ORMs are absolutely fine for read provided you periodically check query performance, which you need to do anyway. For write it's a lot murkier.
It helps that EF+LINQ works so very well for me. You can even write something very close to SQL directly in C#, but I prefer the function syntax.
