The problem I have with ORMs is how you map queries, especially joins, to object space. RoR does this fairly well, and also (and more importantly) let's you use SQL for the WHERE clause when required, with a minimum of fuss. The Python ORMs try very hard to map everything to Python, with various neat tricks, but it's still harder than writing a little SQL.
