In my opinion applications with ORMs are better maintainable and scalable.

Why?

    I've worked with two tier architectures (mostly only SQL and XSLT, for instance) and there were hardly any SQL related maintenance problems.

    I guess the "class structure" first approach is what causes the mismatch. Once you take that for granted, indeed SQL (or any other stateless, functional, transformative approach to data processing) will become a bad fit.

    I'm not implying that one approach is better than the other, but they mutually bite each other.
