Simplistic "No True Scotsman" bullshit. ORMs provide type safety, ease of refactoring, and reduce a lot of boilerplate. Of course, occasionally you need to bypass an ORM to write complex queries, which is fine. ORMs are not perfect, but are a very useful tool nonetheless.

Ironically a competent person would probably not say "All X's are garbage" because, as with most things in software, it's a) complicated and b) never that clear cut.
