at the point at which SA is looking more like Hibernate than you want it
to, its time to speak up ! at the moment, Hibernate is partially or fully
driving just about every decision made in the past three weeks. its
gravitational pull is much stronger than that of trying to re-invent each
concept on your own.
I guess what scares me is that Hibernate tries to accomodate every possible way of doing things, and I don't think that's a good target. I don't want to have to spend days becoming an expert on my ORM. ("Professional Hibernate" is 350 pages long, without even counting the "Using Hibernate with XXY" chapters.)
