.Net Tiers template with Code Smith is a good ORM solution to try out!

Just recently started looking into .Net Tiers template with CodeSmith generation and it seems to be very good. 

I have worked with Entity framework 4 in the past and I used EF 5 recently, both DB first approaches. EF 5 is a bit stable than EF 4. But we still have to establish the Repository, Unit of Work pattern ourselves, which code smith does in 30 seconds! Yeah I know code smith is a paid product but .Net Tiers is not. 

.Net Tiers is an open source ORM solution. It is similar to EF or NHibernate, if you may, but in a very advanced stage than the latter options. 

I have not played a lot with it but from the initial messing around with, it looks pretty solid. Try it out, if you are searching for a good ORM solution.
