For me the usefulness of a ORM depends a lot on the language I'm working with. In the .NET world the choice is easy, Linq and EntityFramework is a killer combination. It's so much faster, and better than writing your own queries. I don't feel any of the normal arguments I hear against ORM's apply to the Linq + EF combo. For Python and JS, I kinda can releate to some of the common arguments, but still feel that ORM's have a use.
