Nhibernate Vs EntityFramework

I had an experience working with both ORM'S, I personally prefer Entity Framework , because it's an open source and in entity framework you have the three different kind of approaches
1) Database first
2) Code first
3) Model First

And The latest releases of EF has so many features which are not in NH

Connection resiliency

Asynchronous query and save

Code-based configuration

Database command logging

Database command interception

Dependency Resolution

DbSet.AddRange/RemoveRange

Better Transaction Support

Pluggable pluralisation and singularization service

Testability improvements

Creating context with an open connection

Improved performance and warm-up time

And you know what EF has also got an extension which is called as EF Extension Utilities 0.4.0 where you can do Bulk Insert and Updates very easily with a single function

Hope this helps for you, I have very good Experience with EF , if u have any doubts let me Know :)
