The article mentions database portability as an advantage of ORMs, and I agree - to me that is basically the only real advantage to ORMs. The article also mentions that database portability is not a very compelling advantage, since lots of applications don't actually need that, which I also agree with.
Personally I just pick either PostgreSQL or SQLite depending on my use case (and they're different enough that there is always one obvious choice) and just interface with them directly. Hasn't served me wrong yet.
