Absolutely. If I use a SQL db for my applications (I'm a software dev for context), I generally write raw SQL vs using an ORM. I find the long term issues of an ORM to not be worth investing and understanding SQL.

I'm also not having to learn a new library, in addition to the standard DB connection libraries, ~if~ when I switch a language or platform for some project.
