Hey, Vincent (author of article) here! Indeed it's a fine line, but ORMs give you objects with methods that allow you to modify or further query the database, like User.save() or User.objects.find(). This is for me the distinction, and in Storex you get data objects back, but all the manipulation happens through one object, the StorageManager.

So its a data mapper instead of active record, but still an ORM.

Ah, thanks for pointing that out. Will read up on my terminology ;)
