My experience as well. I use an ORM that I absolutely love for most work (Apache Cayenne) and I use plain SQL where appropriate, like for complex reporting.
The "ORMs are bad" articles usually boil down to "My ORM is bad" or "I tried to use an ORM where it doesn't really fit and now I believe all ORMs are bad".
