Chill man! (or are you looking for a fight?)
I was talking about POJO DAOs, not iBATIS.
My point is:
Use a tool that takes care of all the grunt work.

I'd argue just the opposite.
If you can design your data model from scratch on a brand new project
than yea maybe Hibernate will fit the bill, otherwise iBATIS will save
you much more time and will provide a lot less headaches. How many
developers have the privilege of not working with legacy databases?
The fact that you state:
"You'll spend all your time writing grunt-work plumbing and error
handling and maintenance is a nightmare."
only shows you haven't even tried iBATIS since, for if you had, you
wouldn't be making such erroneous statements.
