I call it "SQL fear", and I agree: people need to get over it. We used EFCore at my previous job, and I don't know how much time figuring out how poorly performing queries are happening. The abstraction leaks like a sieve and isn't worth it. Now, if we could replace SQL with a purpose-built language, that I would be interested in. I have to concede that SQL doesn't have great ergonomics (e.g. if FROM was first then auto-complete would be better, trailing commas would eliminate much formatting bike shedding, why are INSERT and UPDATE so different).
