I use an ORM that does basic mapping but let's you write your own SQL to cover situations that mismatch (still contained in a data layer of the app). It basically just saves a ton of time and let's me write a REST Services in about 2 minutes that power mobile apps or provide public/private APIs. I've used it for all variety of apps.

I certainly do care what strings get sent to the Database though, I can tell you that! If you use an ORM and don't know how to inspect the queries it generates then I'd consider that to be somewhat negligent. That's just me, though.
