My only real ORM experience is with SQLAlchemy (and a tiny bit of trying to learn ecto) and based on this thread I have to ask are all the other ORMs just terrible?

I've been learning some rust lately and writing out boilerplate code to handle simple CRUD is painstaking and it feels like a waste of my time.

SQLAlechemy's ORM can get in the way a bit for more complex queries (or ones you are trying to optimize) but you can always just drop down and write the SQL for those specifically.
