They are never easier but they are convenient for serializing/deserializing from the DB to the data structures of the language. I'm currently working with Rails, Django and Phoenix. For a polyglot developer having to learn how to do SQL in many different languages is immediately a stupid thing to do.
I wish I could write my queries in SQL and the ORMs be smart enough to handle them without making me parse the results manually.
On the other side, I like ORMs for managing the databases with migrations.
