He's right.  ORM is just one part of what makes you so productive with
Django.  In fact, that layer is likely to be swapped out with a
replacement ORM in the future anyway.  It's the whole framework fit
together that makes it great to work with.

For something similar in PHP, check out CakePHP http://cakephp.org/ .
I've never used it, but I hear good things about it.

If you want the sweetness that is Django, then just use Django... oops,
wrong list ;)
