Nov 17, 2011 at 17:43 comment added JasonTrue FWIW Data Mapper is probably the pattern that most closely maps to an ORM. ActiveRecord is a different pattern, though certainly related.
Nov 17, 2011 at 17:07 comment added Raynos @NathanLong I was just pointing out that popularity and correct-ness are orthogonal.
Nov 17, 2011 at 17:01 comment added Nathan Long @Raynos - Perhaps authority isn't the best argument, but the OP said "in my experience". This is essentially an appeal to personal authority, so I think it's reasonable to counter with an appeal to authority and consensus. Besides, the term "anti-pattern" is itself about opinions. I've given examples of what other people think.
