[...] Entity Framework 1.0 pretty much sucks (compared to alternatives), but I’m glad to see that things have improved a lot in version 4.0. [...]

I love to be in control of my code.
EF will generate a lot of crap.
Look at Model.designer.cs it always makes me laugh:
//This code was generated by a tool.

martijn :Well, that’s more or less the point I’m trying to make: it’s pushed by MS so that developers are told by their management to use it. Managers don’t read about the flaws of Version 1.0.

hmm. those 'managers' would then fall under one or several of the following labels: incompetent (for not doing their due diligence, and for not listening to those who have), naïve (for taking marketing at face value -- do they also believe in laundry detergent TV commercials?), inexperienced (seen _any_ stable v1 product out of redmond? I haven't...). oh well, it will be interesting to see what EFv3 brings, I expect it to be a lot better than v1...

Danny Simmons :
I’m sorry that you have had frustrations with the first release of the EF. May I humbly suggest that you give the next release of the EF (the one that will ship with .net 4 and is available in beta form now) a chance before completely writing off the EF. It’s certainly not perfect, but I hope you will find some significant improvements.

From what I've seen, the next version looks a whole lot better and I'll definitively will give it a good look. That aside, my frustrations are caused by the fact that the V1 version was positioned as the default way of doing data access and that many developers would be better off with an alternative solution that is available right now.
