I am seriously considering dumping Hibernate in favor of Cayenne

"bug" on their discussion forum or else they will ban you. No joke!).
Anyone who honestly thinks their software has no bugs *has* to be
delusional in my book.
Anyway, I'm wondering whether anyone has tried using Cayenne before?
I noticed a lot of Wicket users have had experience with Hibernate so I
figured this was a good place to ask. I read that Cayenne is
feature-equivilent to Hibernate but the developers are far more friendly
and their support base is stronger. With Hibernate whenever I ran into
trouble and try asking for help the developers first tell me off, then
proceed to tell me to go buy their book. Now, I can hardly fault them
for their capitalistic ploy, but I have a hard time justifying to myself
having to pay money to people who badger users asking for help. Frankly,
I hope they crash and burn for their attitude.
So back to the point. Does anyone have any experience with Cayenne
or maybe Apache OJB? I'm look at
http://c2.com/cgi-bin/wiki?ObjectRelationalToolComparison for a
comparison but it is rather dry. I'm looking for practical experience
from real people. Let me know...

Among WebObjects developers Cayenne is considered a good alternative to
EOF (Enterprise Objects Framework which is part of WebObjects). I think
it's safe to say that EOF inspired Cayenne, and you can import EOF
models directly to Cayenne. I've worked a lot with EOF. No major complaints.
I've also worked a lot with (and contributed to) WOProject/WOLips (also
from ObjectStyle). It's great!

For the application I'm currently working on I first tried Hibernate.
Did some test coding and decided not to continue. Instead I went with PriDE.

It's extremely lightweight and scaled down. There's lots of things it
can't do - or more correctly you have to do it. So far I'm very happy.
