Sometimes all you really need are simple CRUD operations against a data store for a particular app. Most ORM fill that roll quite well in my opinion. They are also great for rapid prototyping. I think where people run into problems is trying to shoehorn every data operation through the ORM layer, especially for more complicated data storage requirements. That being said, working with knex was a miserable experience.

if it's simple, why do you need to include a new dependency? Especially one as complex as an ORM?
