Dapper is fantastic, and I'm happy to see it getting some love. It does exactly what I want: provides strongly-typed mapping and protects against SQL injection. It makes it easy to create domain-specific repositories without leaking anything.
In contrast, every company I've joined that used Entity Framework had enterprise products that ended up being a tightly coupled mess from IQueryable<T> being passed around like the world's favourite shotgun.
In my case, it has been either applications where Dapper is possible, or very high abstractions in CMS like Sitecore and Optimizely, where they come with their own approach which then again, needs a whole indexing engine.

Dapper is an unmitigated joy for me. i get to write the best sql needed for the case and then let the micro-orm handle the rest.
