I never understood why ORM should be better than the DAL. Actually I think it's the other way around. I worked with ORM for years and I'm really happy I can now use only DAL. It's very easy to get performance problems with ORM when all references are automatically fetched, and then those references can trigger even more selects for their own references and so on... Usually we ended up to manually generate our selects and then just fill in the class instances. This approach can be done with DAL as well (and it should be much easier) - if someone needs entities.
