I really don't get why people feel like non-ORMs cause boilerplate. I write the same amount of code using Micro ORMS. Type safe. No SQL. Very happy.

  But Micro-ORMs are ORMs. And you're right, they do remove a lot of boilerplate.

Here is all the "boiler plate" you'd need to use something like OrmLite with C#. https://pastebin.com/XUhQVPUk https://pastebin.com/XUhQVPUk Type safety. No boiler plate. No abstractions. Errors are a result of the underlying data storage. This is where it's at. The sweet spot.

      You're agreeing with each other - the ORM reduces the need for annoying and typo-inducing boilerplate.

      But I'm agreeing with you in all those points, like the sibling post said. I actually used OrmLite myself in some projects.
