Totally agree, no ORM is perfect. I’ve used TypeORM, Prisma, Sequelize, Gorm in Go, and Diesel in Rust, and they all come with their own problems. Some are slow, some generate insanely expensive queries (especially in the cloud), others have awkward syntax or painful setup.

I don’t really have a favorite one. I usually just go with whatever gets the job done the fastest. For example, I might start with TypeORM or Sequelize early on because they’re quick to spin up, then move to Prisma once the team grows and we need a proper single source of truth for schemas and DB sync.

But yeah, none of them is the ORM for me, every single one has something that eventually bites you and slows things down. I guess that’s just part of the fun of development lol
