Not for me. I usually know what SQL I want to execute. Then I have to
convert that SQL into a weird[1] and limited query language composed of
method calls so that the ORM can turn it into SQL again (hopefully
something close to the SQL I had in mind). It hurts my brain.

[1] Well, SQL is weird, too. But it is weird in an "invented 40+ years
ago and grown organically since" way, not a "constrained by the syntax
of a different language" way.
