You should spend more time here. I'm fairly certain that, if HN is representative, nobody likes ORMs. (Also: advertisement works on nobody)

Personally, I love solving fancy puzzles with SQL but honestly prefer Rails' ActiveRecord ORM because it drastically cuts down on typing.

I don't really like ORM's (or even java) but if I'd have to write code to model a typical user/product/subscription system I'd rather use hibernate with some annotations than dealing with all the add/update sql and projections between domains.
