I suppose this tool has it&#x27;s place in the ecosystem.  I just wonder why anyone would use this when there are ORMs ....<p>EDIT: I&#x27;m not saying this is a waste of time from a developer who obviously puts out quality projects.  I&#x27;m saying I don&#x27;t see <i>myself</i> using it.  I&#x27;m most familiar and comfortable with the Django ORM and have overseen a large project with it.  There were several raw queries when I took over but once I left it there were none and all the replacement I did was clean ORM queries more performant than their raw SQL predecessors.
