That's a load of FUD. > * I don’t spell well I don't want to lose minutes or hours debugging a stupid typo. > * I don’t test much Writing meaningful tests with my object model without having to care about bizarre SQL semantics. > * I don’t care how much time and bandwidth it uses Because ORM will optimize the queries for me, cache results and perform lazy loading when possible. > * I only know Java (or C#, or whatever) Using the full power of expressive languages to work with my object models, keep things DRY and reuse code, and have support for different storage engines and sql flavors.
