I think this is a good thing honestly. I love that you can write your own queries in Ecto and you don’t have to rely on some higher-level abstractions that ORMs from languages like c#/java offer. The problem with those types of ORMs is that they are opinionated in a lot of the decisions, not flexible enough and not extensible.
I always tend to showcase how easily ecto queries can be extended:
defmacro st_transform(wkt, srid) do
quote do: fragment("ST_Transform(?, ?)", unquote(wkt), unquote(srid))
end
Good luck implementing that with an ORM that tries to abstract everything.
