ORMs are an anti-pattern. What ends up happening on most projects is that, over time, the ORM ends up generating increasingly complex, inefficient SQL queries behind the scenes. Since some of the people who use the ORM don't understand SQL, they don't realize how inefficient their ORM logic is; it looks like a simple operation from their perspective... It's only if you look under the bonet that you realize that the SQL being generated behind the scenes is a monstrosity. Nobody would have dared write this fugly mass of SQL by hand but from the ORM layer, it looks reasonable... Just a few objects joined by dots....
