This reminds me of a few anti-ORM blog posts I've been reading recently. For example: http://manniwood.wordpress.com/2009/07/02/sql-generation-is-a-templating-problem-not-a-code-generation-problem/ and a few other posts on the same blog. Once you hit things like graph navigation, query batching, caching, etc. ORM benefits become clearer, I think. I get the impression that current ORMs handle the 80% case pretty well.
