Doctrine offers additional features you will not (maybe never) find in Propel. For example support for: - templates (IMHO a killer feature of Doctrine: reuse premade models): http://www.phpdoctrine.net/doctrine/manual/new/?chapter=class-templates - migration (up/downgrade between versions of your model): http://www.phpdoctrine.net/doctrine/manual/new/?chapter=migration Furthermore Doctrine is able to hydrate arrays instead of objects. This saves memory and speeds up your application. Just browse the documentation and see how much Doctrine can do for you.
