I get where you are coming from. But it's very easy to generate the SQL from the code. Then I take that, tune it in my SQL IDE against the DB and then adjust the code. Since the code is basically a 1:1 mapping to SQL (just with slightly different syntax) there isn't really a problem with that. Once you have any kind of dynamic stuff (like a dynamic filter) you don't have any 100% pure SQL anymore anyways. If you don't have that, okay, this lib will be more convenient.
