I looked into using PDO not too long ago for the Dingo Framework, but I quickly found that it did not meet my requirements.

In other words, I found that using PDO was not the right solution for what I was trying to do. Not saying PDO is bad, in fact it is quite good, but it is not a one-size fits all kind of deal. Like you said, PDO doesn't solve the issue of having to rewrite queries if you switch DBMS, which I believe is PDO's main failure.
