I for one am hell for leather headed towards using Hibernate. I used torque before, but for various reasons decided to go for Hibernate. You aren't wasting your time building your project in torque however IF, and big IF, you use a good seperation between objects and data objects. If you have business logic spewed all over your various Torque objects, then you will hate life when it comes time to port. But, if you have data objects (torque) and then either wrappers or business objects that pull from data objects, then porting is not too bad.
What I learned was the ORM tools may come and go. Torque, then Hibernate, but I bet is in time it'll be something else. Hence the reason to seperate it out. Basically, if you can write your app with NO persistence, and then later add your persistence in, then you wrote it correctly, and plugging in Torque/Hibernate/JDO will be okay... I use hibernate extensively and successfully with Turbine. There is a howto: http://jakarta.apache.org/turbine/turbine-2.3/howto/hibernate-howto.html available. Getting started with Hibernate via Avalon also get's you ready for T2.4 and lots of Avalonized components! Also, http://jakarta.apache.org/turbine/fulcrum/multiproject/fulcrum-security/inde x.html there is a hibernate based security system. And in the unit tests is an example of using it in t2.3 with the turbine user/groups/roles etc...
