I disagree with the ORM hate generally, being a massive fan of ActiveRecord for making it easy to build queries and still drop down to SQL as required.

I'm afraid I've given up reading arguments against ORMs as none of the cons seem to have any relevance to the work I do now or will do in the future, but I admit I am a 'enterprise' developer / consultant.
