Or just avoid them... (Score:2)

I just don't find SQL that hard, and if you create a neatly packaged data access layer it doesn't get in the way of building your application too much, plus you get all the benefits of writing your own code, without the frustration of having to figure out how to do that stuff in an ORM.

  Theoretically, a good ORM provides a neatly packaged data access layer. It can certainly get in your way though if you're trying to do things that are mostly reports and don't have any use for turning the results into objects.
