Have you worked in the programming industry for more than say 5 years?
No point you made actually made much sense. I must admit, I've heard a
few guys just 3 years out of uni who style themselves as technical
architects or senior consultants who opine like this.

Your observations wrt JDBC vs use of an ORM are not borne out by
experience. A fair few knowledgeable people have decided that Java ORMs
make sense: I happen to believe that they are correct - ORMs are
complex, and JDBC is more complex, and not very many coders are truly
adept at SQL.

And "performance is always at a maximum"? JDBC versus ORMs? How so? Just
about 99 percent of the people who write Java ORMs are intimately
familiar with JDBC and SQL - I happen to know a few of them. I
respectfully suggest that if you're having performance problems or can't
solve relational calculus, it's not an ORM problem.
