I have had exactly one positive experience with ORMs: nHibernate + fluent nHibernate config with .net's IQueryable expression interface. That is the ONLY time I have used an ORM and felt like I had enough control to do what I needed for edge cases and still the a perceived productivity boost; granted, there was what seemed like a large learning curve at the time. That said, I must prefer to just write queries myself and use an object mapper (Dapper, etc...) to eliminate a lot of the boilerplate. Maybe there are some amazing ORMs for other stacks. But my time with .net was the only time I heavily utilized sql DBs.
