Haven't red all comments and maybe somebody already mentioned this, but here are my few cents: I've worked with multiple ORM frameworks during my career. And I always reached the point where developer needs focus to framework internals instead of delivering new features. Yes, usually most situation which developer didn't expected can be solved by configuring ORM framework, changing some configuration, providing additional parameters or calling some methods, but what that means? You need fully understand your framework if you want to be sure you application does exactly what you want and not misbehave. So next time when you'll be thinking grab ORM to make things simpler, ask yourself if you really have enough time to fully learn the framework?
