I can offer a few reasons why I like it better.
It's based on another excellent O/R framework (EOF, the O/R framework
bundled with WebObjects).
I think it's easier to learn, the naming is less awkward, and the
Cayenne mailing list is more helpful than the Hibernate forums.
Cayenne dynamically will fault relationships when needed. When
using Hibernate I felt like you have to think a lot more about the
presentation of specific pages while writing low level code. If you
haven't pre-fetched every single thing you need to paint a page,
Hibernate will throw attempting to traverse the object graph (because
your Hibernate session is long closed).
I think most importantly, the Cayenne modeler is so far superior to
Hibernate tools (middlegen, hbm2java) they just cannot be compared.
I couldn't even quantify how much time and effort this tool has saved
me.
Again, this is only my opinion. But, I'm probably one of few people
that have used both frameworks on large projects. You mileage my vary.
Cheers,
Eric

remain convinced that
Cayenne is the superior ORM tool.
