I felt in several projects that it wouldn't have been possible to do it without an OR mapper.
Maybe if it's always just select "star" instead of select object, the difference is not so great, but if you can't use select * for some reason, it becomes unbearable for me...
Also, the automatic loading of linked objects and collections, and the caching, are nice features imo. You only have to write object.getMappedThingies() instead of another SQL request (talking about Java here).
