> No ORM. Sucks having to learn a new ORM every project.

I don't quite follow your logic. ORMs provide a lot of critical features for free right out of the box which take a lot of time and effort to roll out by hand. Database migrations are perhaps the hardest to get right, for example. Why do you believe that the trivial job of onboarding onto a ORM is too much to handle, but manually rolling out and maintaining and debugging hand-written code is somehow an acceptable loss of productivity?
