I think a good ORM is one that isn#t just "hide SQL from the devs" and rather "hide trivial SQL from the devs and let them get dirty if they want to".

Some ORMs I've worked with allowed me to completely bypass the ORM system while still getting most of the benefits. I do recall a ORM that I've use a long while ago that didn't support reading Views as objects but it could be trivially added simply by writing a custom query method which was unpacked like any other query into the object and that worked for Views then.
