I don't think so? I agree that just because the ORM is there doesn't mean you have to use it, but where I disagree is the idea that people incorrectly using an ORM means they should be using an object or document database. They should use a tool suited to their job, but often they're using an ORM because it's been presented to them as a path of least resistance and a silver bullet.
