The thing I learned from working with EntityFramework (aspnet) and Django ORM is that people don't really care to learn how those ORM work, they (the devs) ended up generating utterly unoptimized queries, from adding unnecessary inner joins to loading a ton of nested tables. I'd say for both ORM I mention you can pretty much have total control to tailor your sql to your needs (and still have the benefit of easier refactor).

Ofc in the end a raw sql string will always give an edge (see Dapper).



Dapper and myBatis FTW!
