It seems like people interrested into ORMs are the one who do not want
to tackle SQL... and for people having some time to spend on the
possibility of finding a good ORM:

A more practical discussion seems to be here (I still have to read it):

PS: In short my advice is always to choose an ORM where it's easy to
bypass query generation, and stick to not letting it generate
SQL. Sometime basic CRUD is ok though (INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE one
object/row at a time).
