Yea, I find that one of the primary benefits of Django's orm is query set methods, which allows me to define and compose query fragments. I've rarely worked on a code base whwe you write a query once and then never change it, the queries are constantly changing. If you have these query fragments that can be composed, it's a lot easier to change the resulting query without changing much code.
