dotConnect for SQL Server vs. Entity Developer

We use Entity Framework 6 with SQL Server and I hope to use Entity Developer in that environment but am confused about the purpose of dotConnect for SQL Server. To add to the confusion, EF is discussed for ALL of the dotConnect providers except SQL Server (http://www.devart.com/dotconnect/entityframework.html).

When and why would I want to use dotConnect for SQL Server if I am already using Entity Developer with EF and SQL Server?

Thanks, Dave

dotConnect for SQL Server supports neither Entity Framework nor Entity Developer. This provider includes only plain ADO.NET features: http://www.devart.com/dotconnect/sqlser ... tions.html.

Thx. That's what I thought but it was confusing since the other dotConnect products seemed to all mention EF support.
