Removing *QL from application code is not really an indicator of the maturity of a technology. ORMs and automatic type mapping in general tend to be very easy things for a developer to work with allowing for rapid prototypes, but those applications are often ill-suited to being deployed is high-volume environments.
I have used a wide variety of ORMs over the last 15 years, hibernate being a favourite at which I am held to have some expertise, but when I am creating an app for the real world in situations where I can expect several million requests/day, I do not touch them.
