I'm using a commercial JDO implementation now (Kodo www.solarmetric.com) and find it very transparent. I don't care what post-processors I need to run, as long as I don't have to think too hard when I'm writing the code (JDO is not completely transparent -- I'd like to try prevayler). I last used Cocobase 2-3 years ago, and back then its query language was very hard to use. It may be better now. When an open source JDO implementation appears I'll be very interested.
