I guess > really the same reason - loss of flexibility and expressive power. While I agree that you loose control over certain details, we are overall quite happy using the frameworks. The frameworks nowadays provide the ability to call procedures if required - but using the objects directly is more convenient for the developers. SQL procedures add (just like a CTE) an additional layer to the application design which needs maintenance. That's fine if it really helps overall but we try to avoid it if it isn't needed.
