Using ORM's effectively requires both decent knowledge of SQL/RDBMS and the ORM tool. Using SQL/RDBMS effectively only requires the first.

If the ORM expert doesn't know SQL/RDBMS sufficiently, then they cannot troubleshoot issues properly.

ORM's are a jobs program. (May be good for a paycheck, but is otherwise an unnecessary expense to a company.)
