Some of this is just my particular situation on a current project. 1. There 
is a lot of existing SQL and Java code. jOOQ allows me to improve the 
situation without completely switching paradigms. 2. You have to pay for 
their SQL server implementation now. I didn't ask the price. I didn't 
choose to to use MS-SQL on this project, so I don't agree with their idea 
that anyone who needs the driver must have more money to throw around.

Even on a fresh project I think I'd use jOOQ or something similar in Scala. 
I appreciate the purity in Slick, eg: a filter is always a filter, not a 
"where" or "having" depending on it's location. But lately I'm focused on 
"getting things done", and the fact that I just got around a bug by 
throwing in some raw SQL:  field("FOO + ?", String.class, strArg) -- that 
graceful degradation is a huge deal. I admit I don't know much about Slick, 
but I didn't see this kind of thing in my experiments with it.
