I use this approach with Mongoose in Node.JS. If you want to update a user document, we always query the entire document, set the field, and call .save(). This triggers all kinds of very useful validation hooks and is easy to think about. But if you want to find a series of users, or build an API for a specific front-end form, I've found the ORM just gets in the way, and we have not had any trouble writing db queries inline.

We used to use Mongoose in our project[0], but found that at the volumes of interactions we were dealing with, it was orders of magnitude faster to just use the raw Node.JS driver. [0]: https://github.com/coralproject/talk/tree/next https://github.com/coralproject/talk/tree/next
