As for ZSQL methods, well they're hard work to get up to speed with, but they are fabulous - as much as anything a template driven SQL generation system, which can be very powerful, and which suits my approach to development much more than would an ORM system.
I never had a problem getting up to speed with them, but I have found them hard to maintain, especially when maintaining other people's code. It's way to easy to Just Add Another Method, and soon you have an impossible number of SQL Methods laying about with little way to figure out what's what. And then there's a bunch of little things, but I've ranged on those parts before (http://blog.ianbicking.org/z-sql-rant). It has a lot to do with a combination of through-the-web development, DTML, and Acquisition that makes it very difficult for me to work in. Good practices help, but even then I find the result frustrating.
