Taming the beast that is the Django ORM – An introduction

Django's ORM is acceptable - but I think Rails/ActiveRecord is superior albeit certainly more opinionated. Most likely just my personal bias speaking because Rails was the first web "framework" I cut my teeth on.

I think Django's ORM is really great but only as long as that's the first thing you have seen.

If you started from Rails and ActiveRecord, you're probably not be very appreciative of Django's ORM.

SQLAlchemy is the best stand alone ORM I have found.

sqlalchemy is easily one of the best ORMs ever made for any language. Hats off to zzzeek.

Currently working in typescript and writing SQL queries out by hand since I just don’t trust anything to do the right thing wrt units of work.

I don't know, the declarative API is awkward. I get SQLAlchemy is quality software but I found DX poor.

i've used both. they both have pros/cons. use whatever tool your team is most proficient with/stop wasting your time arguing about which framework is best
