This is really helpful. I will definitely check it out.

Also, I'm really amused that apparently the creator of DataMapper is (a) selling me on using Sequel and (b) the testimonial on their front page. (Not that there's anything wrong with that.)

Sequel and DataMapper have different purposes I think. Sequel is a lot more transparent in the translation between the ORM and SQL and allows a more powerful control of SQL statements. DataMapper allows some very powerful controls on the ORM and Ruby syntax side.
