Just wondering how & why people are using Umbraco 6 in a commerical environment without "Code First"/ uSiteBuilder?
This isn't a troll. I'm genuinely interested to hear if people are finding it too impractical to consider moving to 6 without it or are putting it off solely on this basis.
This is just a personal preference. I'm always developing from scratch without having dependencies to public tools or packages. I'm using only VS built-in templates and the umbraco packages. I've create my own deployment line and packages which makes it much easier for me to handle future updates / changes.
Regarding the Entity Framework: It is nice to use and data repository are quickly implemented, but for testing purposes I prefere to create my own ones.

was that reply in regards to my question?
@Andrew: I cannot agree more!
I'm just trying to do a POC for a big site in 6.1 and have a hard time getting my head around this point'n'click docTypes, dataTypes, ...
Because of this shortcomings in Umbraco ( and the 5.x fiasco ) i've done all last years big sites with N2CMS and i love working with it!
Hey Andrew,
Working with V6 is no different to V4 in terms of DocType management, not sure why this would put you off?

To expand, you don't have to use Code First with either.
