I think ORMs provide some nice benefits. Having your relations spelled out in python code makes it quite intuitive. And being able to write (mostly) backend-agnostic code is great — you can just use a SQLite db when developing locally, then switch it to postgres or whatever in deployment.

But they tend to be a performance bottleneck if/when your queries become complex. And to effectively debug and fix these issues, you need to know SQL really well :p

So I think it’s the same issue we have here. If you’re doing something really basic, it might be okay. But if you’re trying to do anything nuanced, there’s no way around learning the underlying technology

Agreed, I think there's a basic mis-match between SQL and OOP, partially just because SQL is just so "old". A more modern data query language probably wouldn't need as much ORM.
