No? ORMs don’t preclude writing raw SQL, so it’s just making the easy parts easier while leaving the difficult parts the same.

The ORMs I've tried tend to produce some pretty specific table structures that are a pain in the ass to work with outside of the ORM, imo

One of the sticking points I've found in the past is if I create a new table outside of the ORM, it doesn't know how to use it. Then if I try to add it to the ORM's model it doesn't use the existing table, it creates a conflict. Annoying stuff like that
