That's not been my experience. But admittedly, I've usually been brought in when the slow query is killing the database. Then I look at the query that nobody with any subject matter knowledge would have written, come up with an alternate query that will give either the same result or something close enough. Sometimes I have to then dig in and figure out how to make that happen, because the ORM user doesn't always know how to make direct queries.
But it sure did make the easy things easier, as the other poster said.
