I'm not, but I do use both grails and iBATIS a lot on different projects. There should be no reason not to. Since pre-1.0 of grails, they removed the tight coupling to hibernate and you can now simply take hibernate out of the equation for any grails project by removing the hibernate plugin. Unfortunately I can't speak intelligently about how you plugin another persistence mechanism since I've never tried it. Suggest you ask on the grails mailing list, which is high volume but pretty responsive too. I think your post does raise an interesting point about grails though (to wander slightly, but not entirely OT). I can't help thinking the dev team has missed a bit of a trick here. Grails is a superb framework, but surely it's sweet spot has got to be providing web front-ends, with all the great plugins and ajaxy stuff it makes so easy, but against legacy middle- and/or back-end tiers that already exist or will be written in Java. I know they'll tell me you *can* do this, but IMHO they should push it harder - seems a more likely path to the enterprise than pushing the full-stack green-field capabilities of the framework.
