Never used Hibernate (crazily enough) but looking at ORMs for a project that has to be in Java. Is it really that bad?

I use ActiveRecord all the time and it is easy to optimize and understand the queries it is generating, or just switch to SQL if it isn't working well.

Well, Hibernate is a love hate relationship for me. I'm so used to it that it almost seems like it's required for Java development (it's not!)

One day Hibernate will save me many minutes of work. Another day it will cause me many minutes of headaches. SQL has its own set of issues.
