it can be nice to have the whole stack type checked, so you know the query is good as you write it. There are a few languages/libraries where you can do this while also writing SQL directly, so you can kind of get the best of both worlds. Like F# sql type providers, where you can get compile time (or editor time) checks of your queries against the DB or a schema.
