What? Just use .NET standard, no need to switch to a wholly new language (unless of course if your initial goal was some kind of cross-platform requirement).

EF isn't great, but there are a ton of ORM frameworks that blow NHibernate out of the water. These days I'm just using Dapper for most projects. It's small, fast and very easy to use.

Dapper isn't an ORM in the same sense as EF and nHibernate, it's not bad, just different. There is plenty of room for both on a project.
