Nah, I love SQL, but if I have to choose between SQL and ORM, I will go with ... something in between, like the core layer of SQLAlchemy. Just take a look at that monstrosity of an UPDATE statement in the article. In my first job, I had to do something similar in SQL, but with a SELECT statement to allow users to search dynamically using any combination of the columns. I picked up SQLAlchemy in my second job, and have never looked back.
