  There's a lot of hatred for ORMs that floats around but most of the ire seems to revolve around the cases where the ORM's flexibility doesn't allow it to expose the power of the underlying database properly. But people often fail to note how few and far between these examples are and how the vast majority of an app's queries tend to be dumb & boring and handled extremely competently by the ORM. Contrast this with the number of dumb typos & sql mistakes through verbosity that the ORM has saved. Don't get distracted by the 1 or 2 cases per app.
