I think “never use X” is probably a bit far. But personally I can’t really think of a situation where I would rather have an ORM. I used to use them all the time. When I started doing pure FP I just realized I just didn’t really need my old ORM. When I came back to OOP languages (out of necessity, not pleasure), I realized I didn’t really need my old ORM there either. It’s not a strong opinion and it’s not a religious thing, it’s just a different perspective whereby you see that something isn’t really necessary. Benefits or not, you do pay quite a heavy price for the ORM, and I think most people don’t see this price because it has been normalized so much.
