Comment (by john-parton):

 Thanks for the feedback.

 For anyone who might come back to this ticket at a later date:

 The reason someone might not want to use `.get()` is because it executes
 another SQL query.

 `Parent.objects.filter(parent__slug='test')` is not the same query. It
 uses a join instead of a subquery, and might have different performance
 characteristics. Often I refactor a SQL query looking at the output of
 `EXPLAIN`, and then try to recreate the query using the ORM.
