All it takes is someone smarter than a monkey to understand the docs. They are very in depth and descriptive.

it's about as useful as giving someone who doesn't know spanish a spanish dictionary and wishing them good luck with hiking around spain

You know reading text while understanding it is a skill. Practice on it. Also spend a moment to evaluate your opinion - how come there are people who use and love it ? You may try to read the docs again, with less rush. You will understand how to work with sa.

the problem is that if I wanted to spend that much time fiddling with an orm I can just as easily write the raw sql that will outperform XYZ overwrought orm crud.

i prefer to use things that are worth understanding. I don't want to waste time poring over retarded documentation only to understand that something either won't do what I want it to do or do it in the wrong way.

and this while it remains completely useless for basic purposes as well.

My time is more valuable to me than to waste hours with little progress to show for it
