Right, I wasn't trying to imply a relationship. I only meant to say that if they're willing to write about old news for one piece of tech, then maybe they'd do it for another.
It is an ORM, but I wouldn't call it just an ORM. I don't have experience with NHibernate, but most ORMs I have experience with feel like just a way progammatically build queries. I found EntMutator to provide nice abstractions to couple data changes with business logic like mutation triggers and observers. Again, all the additional tooling built around the Ent framework adds to the value.
Things like observers are fairly available in the orm land too. Same with mutators and unit of work and so on.
