title: Entity Framework vs. nHibernate for Performance, Learning Curve overall features
body: <p>I know this has been asked several times and I have read all the posts as well but they all are very old. And considering there have been advancements in versions and releases, I am hoping there might be fresh views.</p>
  
  <p>We are building a new application on ASP.NET MVC and need to finalize on an ORM tool. We have never used ORM before and have pretty much boiled down to two - nHibernate &amp; Entity Framework.</p>
  
  <p>I really need some advice from someone who has used both these tools and can recommend based on experience. There are three points that I am focusing on to finalize - </p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>Performance</li>
  <li>Learning Curve</li>
  <li>Overall Capability</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>Your advice will be highly appreciated.</p>
  
  <p>Best Regards,</p>
