JCR is very simple. Classic RDBMS ( and its SQL) doesn't match correctly to content based application. With a JCR based repo, you have automatically support for versionning, indexing, full text & prop search, node type, .... Futhermore, JCR spec is not very difficult to understand. If you can use JDBC, you can use JCR.
Now, that's clear JCR becomes the standard and will replace JDBC for managing content based application. Unfortunately, JCR is low level (like JDBC). The graffito team is building the first OCM tools (Object/content mapping tools). It is still on dev. see this Graffito project on : http://incubator.apache.org/graffito/jcr-mapping/index.html Again, before taking a decision, take the time to review the JCR spec.
