I've wanted to like ORMs but they always get in the away as requirements start to get more complex. On the other hand, I like writing in plain SQL, but that's often hard to comprehend by other people - you cannot just glance through to know what's happening under hood.

I find Ecto to be the perfect balance of expressiveness, flexibility and clarity. In fact it's the single reason to have picked up Elixir.

Have to agree. been really enjoying Elixir / Ecto / Phoenix.

I find Ecto lets me be as expressive as I need to with Queries, and handles the mapping into models very well for the 90% of easy cases that I need it to.
