Readability. Complex SQL statements are more clear to understand than 
complex dbix "statements" when you are not an author of DBIX ;)
I can also test it with simple copy&paste to sql console to see how it 
works, how it is planned / optimized.

I know it is ORM and database abstraction, I'm theoretically independent 
from my DB vendor and so on, but it doesn't change the fact it is more 
complicated, more "noise", more "strange" -opt { qw[col1 col2] } than 
pure SQL statement.

And when all this Catalyst/Dbix stuff is so flexible - why I should 
fight with such approach?
