Look at .NET it's include most of things that developers need
at real life. And it's one of reasons of it's popularity.
At the same time, it's good to have some competition and
alternative choices. For example, Ruby on Rails is the de facto
standard for Ruby Web applications, but there are alternatives
(and pretty decent ones at that). That's why I'm continuing to
work on my own ORM library, which should still have a niche in
SQLite-based applications because its API is designed to be
lightweight and lazy.
