Not at all. The only cumbersome thing about SQL, that is common enough and unpleasant to always spell out by hand are basic INSERT and UPDATE commands.
I use a set of 3-4 functions that I reuse pretty much in all my programs for this. It's no ORM, as it doesn't map classes to tables/data in the database. It's just a shortcut to generate and execute INSERT/UPDATE commands on arbitrary tables with arbitrary columns.
Also it has zero bugs, because you can hardly create bugs in something so simple.
