In my limited experience of it, it produces much cleaner code, and
seperates concerns very well.
For example, NONE (yep, none) of my code has any transaction information in
it! It is abstracted out using Spring's AOP, and instead is defined in
Spring's xml file (very easily) and seamlessly handled by Spring and
Hibernate. And, yes, Spring handles Hibernate sessions seamlessly too. In
fact, Spring's integration with Hibernate is superb.
It takes a while to get used to AOP (Aspect Orientated Programming) but
there are lots of intro articles out there, and Matt Raible has some
hand-holding tutorials on setting up Spring and Hibernate.
Cheers,
David

+1 on the "Why should I use Spring" and "beat me over the head until I use
it" statement.

I love Hibernate. Really do.
Only bad thing about it is that I find is that I get better Hibernate help
here than I do in the Hibernate forum. Which well...you see what that
doesn't bother me :-)
Apparently Spring fixes my gripe with Hibernate/Struts about constantly
opening sessions/transactions, so I'm *very* curious. I just need someone
to
beat me over the head with why else it is so wonderful.
