title: Why isn't BLToolkit more popular?
body: <p>While searching around the net for light, fast ORMs targeting .NET, I came across <a href="http://bltoolkit.net" rel="nofollow noreferrer">BLToolKit</a>, which seems absolutely amazing in terms of performance, openness, maintainability, and flexibility.</p>
  
  <p>However, I've also noticed that it has received very little love by the community and only has 9 questions on SO. Can anyone shed more light on this?</p>
  
  <p>Are folks just rolling their own DALs, in love with Entity Framework, or using some other ORM?</p>
