Depends a lot on context.

A simple CRUD query with a filter or two and a couple joins, in a large project maintained by a large team, is going to be more maintainable in an ORM.

But many ORMs will be awkward for writing queries used for complex reporting - if they can be written using the ORM at all.

And if you’re working on a project that only you will touch, just use whatever you’re most comfortable with.
