Prepared statements are a good tool to have in your arsenal but for the majority of the queries you need an ORM will be fine. It doesn't absolve you of the need to understand SQL but it does save a huge amount of time and generally results in easier to follow code.

We’ve had the opposite experience. We had a mix of irk code and raw SQL, and we’ve found that the SQL is much more readable. New code is all being written in SQL. Exception is insert and upsert queries which only ever write to one table and involve a lot of boilerplate.
