I fucking HATE ORMs. Fuck this bullshit, they always have some use case that is stupidly difficult or obscure that no one knows how to deal with because the creators didn't think of the one thing I want to fucking do.

Screw this bullshit, homebrew SQL is ALWAYS the way to go; I've never encountered an ORM that didn't turn in to a troubleshooting, dialect-learning timesink.

    To be honest the only ORM I can rely on is Entity Framework of Microsoft.
    Now Google Room looks promising but not yet out of beta

    Realm, SugarORM, core data all resulted in tones of issues for me no matter what.

    Doesn't most orms have a raw method for directly passing sql down? :p

    Most I've come across in PHP land does.

    Quite a few of em are really just a glorified query Builder with a little pinch of hydration though..

    As a consultant I am usually hired fundamentally due to their former or existing dev team over engineered application framework so hard so far away from business requirement to a point it’s unfit and unmaintainable. Centre to those bloated gigabytes of codes there always sits a gigantic rusted and duck taped ORM.
