So ORMs help us deal with a very real problem for most enterprise applications. It's true they are often misused, and sometimes the underlying problem can be avoided. They aren't pretty tools, but then the problem they tackle isn't exactly cuddly either. I think they deserve a little more respect and a lot more understanding.

No, how did this work out?

Do you know any object database that is as widely used as MySql or Postgres? do you know cloud providers that offer, as supported data store, an object database? I don't.
I do know some fairly successful Object databases (Cache is the first that comes to mind), but they never grew beyond niche players, and they are being overtaken by NoSql datastores anyway.
