How is SQL bad? If anything my experience with KV db's is that most of the time they'll eventually end up implementing some form of structured data storage and retrieval that in some way resembles SQL. I love KV's only when I used them as embedded db's like pebble and badger db but you can never beat a good ol' SQL server that just does what you need from it nothing more nothing less. ORM's most of the time aren't that great either you always have to keep up with their new fancy API changes and instead of just doing your work you find yourself relearning the same ORM every few years, not only that but some ORM's are extremely sensitive in how you order your operations that the order in which you write you code can potentially kill your performance or worse accidentally deleting data.
