Exactly! It made total sense at the time, and still does to some degree.
I'm sure SQLAlchemy is lovely, but after spending so much time with Django ORM, I'm finding it hard to shift my thinking any time I try to look at SA. I'm sure if I had started using SA first, the opposite would also be true, so we just took different paths. I'm guessing you'll enjoy SA if you love SQL, based on all the other comments I'm seeing.
