Nobody "loves" them. It's one of many tools just like generic, OOP, functional, imperative, "nullsafe" features. Long list of tools with usefulness. I find people who tend to develop extreme on either end aren't that pragmatic. I read your blog and I don't see any problems caused by ORM. Your product data model should fit in ORM (I get it, you're just using it as a simple example). The blog only mentioned "I used ORM in the past and had bad experience" without explaining the problems. > In comparison, at my previous workplace, I was forced to use ORM, and everything was slower, awful, and hard to maintain for no benefit whatsoever That seems to be the problem: your previous workplace, not the ORM itself.
