> I do raw SQL queries instead of ORM
Love it. I've seen so many cases where engineers with just basic SQL knowledge (like myself; I'm no JOIN god) can run circles around the queries ORMs generate.

Which is kinda what they are for, that's why they're called "Object-Relational Mappers". Not "Object-Relational Query Generators". Because they suck at the latter.
That anyone with more than 6 months of experience still drag Hibernate up from their chest is just absolutely beyond my comprehension.
That said, the moment you leave the small table simple relations space (by e.g. having a table with a quarter billion rows), then ORM is not a good choice.
