I moved away from ORMs a while ago b/c I found myself bumping into edge cases too frequently and/or spending too much time trying to figure out how to write complex queries in the ORMs syntax.
In general, the move to SQL was initially painful, but is now a breeze.
With SQL, I don't have to learn an abstraction that is limited to a specific language. So whether I'm working in Java, Python or JavaScript/Node.js, the SQL is the same.
Also, there are numerous technologies that now provide an SQL-like language. For example, learning SQL made it easy to learn CQL (Cassandra), HiveQL, etc.
