Not in the traditional sense.

Here is all the "boiler plate" you'd need to use something like OrmLite with C#.

Type safety. No boiler plate. No abstractions. Errors are a result of the underlying data storage.

This is where it's at. The sweet spot.

You're agreeing with each other - the ORM reduces the need for annoying and typo-inducing boilerplate.

But I'm agreeing with you in all those points, like the sibling post said. I actually used OrmLite myself in some projects.
