Sometimes ORMs can be very convenient for reducing time to complete complex things as well. I recently did a project which had a graph data model that was mapped to a relational database, and SQLAlchemy saved me a lot of manual query manipulation to get that done. Many ORMs would make it rather difficult to achieve that sort of thing, though. Some are much more robust than others.
