Sequel is very good. Its dataset based and therefore quite flexible.
ORM is optional and a wide array of plugins are available.

On the other hand it's can get complicated to configure, though this
is more a result of its ability to meet a user's complicated data
requirements. Setting up basic ORM functionality is seamless.


ActiveRecord is great, but the "convention over configuration" aspect
might be surprising for newcomers, particularly if they're not
creating their DB from scratch or if they're trying to map exotic
relationships and multi column primary keys (not sure if/how version 3
changes this).
