Maybe I have programmer Stockholm syndrome, but SQLA is one of the best ORM in existence. Period. I have spent a lot of time with it. I think in terms of Python style and SQL and I think SQLA fits it better than Django ORM. Django ORM fits Django better. SQLA makes it easy to do OO style SQL modeling in a very Pythonic way. I don't hate Django ORM. If I used Django I would use the ORM it comes with. It is ok. I think data is so important I avoid Django because I think its ORM becomes the limiting factor for medium or large projects. For small projects, it hardly matters. Use what you know or has a path of least resistance for you. An aside, Pyramid is actually in between Flask and Django, but people often think it has to be Flask or Django. Pyramid is beautiful and much less opinionated than Django, but still has some batteries, or rather it supports several different types of batteries. Practical programmers don't hate tools IMO. Makes you too vulnerable to overvaluing your opinion.
