Current rails developer here, I've found that using ActiveRecord for basic queries and moving to SQL for more complex stuff to be a very good combination.
I agree that ORM users should learn SQL, but SQL and an ORM are not mutually exclusive.
- RangerScience 7y agoYep, also current rails dev here and this is also what I do :) Learning SQL with an ORM does remind me a bit of learning memory management with a garbage collector: helps you make better choices as to how you put things together, even if you never directly use the know-how.

- RangerScience 7y agoAyup :) Rails ain't dead, it's just mature.
