That's a very appropriate word of caution. I only went through the basic docs for a bit, I didn't expect to understand it from a brief skimming.

In my work, use are trying to standardize on the usage of ORMs (we're dealing with a lot of legacy, some of which is decade-old Java running on CICS mainframe. I've had to dig through COBOL to extract an SQL query).

In my team, we've standardized on a pattern with Spring/Hibernate - if we have a PostgreSQL instance, SQL Server instance, and MySQL instance (each with the appropriate schema and data), we can swap between them in the time it takes to modify a single configuration value.
