Why?
Because it makes querying SQL databases easy, making you more productive and making you deliver more in the same amount of time?*
Yeah, those are very good reasons to hate on a software product

Did they brainwash update you again?
The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

Because you're using another ORM or not using .NET or SQL?
Those are really the only three explanations I have for not needing EF

I don't really need EF to generate my queries in a certain style... 
When I need optimization EF has certain options, when they aren't enough I can still opt-out of EF in that one instance.
For example, EF can't handle recursive queries, so I write those by hand (and use EF to execute it).
When optimization is a problem I use an SP, but something like context.SomeTable.Where(t => t.Id == id).ToList() can't really be optimized even if I wrote it by hand.

a.) another ORM -> No
b.) not using .NET ->No
c.) not using SQL ->No
But I like to have it under my control. Sooner or later I think a lot of users of EF comes to this conclusion.

You like to write all those SELECT statements by hand time and time again?
When I want to be in control I take control, all those other times I use EF (which is most of the time).
The only optimization I can do to something like context.SomeTable.Where(t => t.Id == id).ToList() is removing the []'s from the generated query...

SELECT TOP 1 Description

Writing and mapping simple SQL queries by hand.
string topTimeWaster = context.TimeWasters
.OrderByDescending(t => t.TimeTaken)
.Select(t => t.Description)

Console.WriteLine(topTimeWaster);

EF is less error prone as it's all strongly typed as well!

Perhaps it is only an age phenomenon (I'm pretty old;) ) doing things like this still explicitely by myself.
On the other Hand, if I do it by myself, even it takes me some minutes more, it makes me thinking what I'm doing, which I think is very helpfull.
You are happy with EF, I'm happy with my way. No Need to fight about it

No - back in the 90's I wrote a code generator that does all the donkey work for me, is is the standard for the teams and it has been left with at least 10 other organisations over the years. Simple, basic ORM, DAL and code generator that does somewhat more than EF and a whole lot less.
Using that we can generate a solution a faster than EF and it is not a black box, all the devs know the code.
Never underestimate the power of human stupidity

I wrote such a tool for Oracle.
Very simple, primitive, fast and does exactly what it should.
I wouldn't leave it at other organisations though
About a year later I found out another team in our organisation also had such a tool.
However, it assumed everything was a friggin package and that was all it could work with...
I even ran into a very simple scenario that was not supported by the tool. Can't remember what it was, but I remember saying "this is common practice, basics!"
Horrible 
My previous employer also had such a tool... I don't even want to talk about that one!

Nice reply! Yes, there are many here who were writing code before the arrival of EF in 2008 and had already created our own tools for doing the grunt work. IMHO, one of the marks of a good (or maybe just lazy) developer is that they have written a code generator. :thumbsup

Similar story here, wrote something up in the early 00's at a company that got split up and sold off. Had a project 2 years ago at a completely different employer and industry and going through the code I found that same DAL at the base, complete with my typo'd comments
