I think the OO queries is not the issue, it's the form they are in. Remember the average Joe programmer knows very little about ORM, OO queries, DDD etc. When they see a HQL query the first thing they think is "Why have they coded SQL throughout there application, it's just like classic ASP". Now that Linq is available it is something average Joe is really attracted to using where HQL is a turn off. IMO, to encourage NH adoption Linq should be the number 1 priority, by some margin. I think the future growth of NH is very largely dependent on the ability of Steve Strong to make a good fist of the new Linq provider (No pressure, use the force Steve), because otherwise when Entity Framework 4.0 comes out people are going to be jumping ship like there is no tomorrow.
