I don't agree I used EF Core and Dapper for like 3 years and ORMs boost productivity significantly. I tend to check what SQL is generated and if something is complicated and generated SQL sucks, then I use micro ORM like Dapper and use raw sql. I agree that ORMs aren't easy because you have to learn them, but I think it's worth, unless you have to learn many different ORMs.
