I really like Sequel, we used it with Sinatra  for our last project -
we chose Sinatra + Sequel because Rails 2 required too many
workarounds to deal with a legacy database and complex relationships
that didn't fit the Rails pattern.

Our current project we are putting a toe back into RoR - with Rails 3
ActiveRecord is *much* more flexible and more Sequel-like - really
enjoying it - so if your statement above is about Rails 2.x and before
I'd agree whole-heartedly - I'd disagree for Rails 3.

One of our 'will it work' cases for RoR + AR was an A ->
A_B_pivot_table -> B join case on a legacy database in read-only mode
(since we don't own it) with Rails 3 AR - the code needed for the AR
version was the same or less than what was needed for the Sequel
implementation.

Sequel is terrifc - AR is a lot more fun these days as well :).
