> NHibernate vs. Hibernate

As a counter argument to that (specifically), we don't really need NHibernate when we have Entity Framework.

When you start from scratch I'd agree with you, but if you want to interface with a legacy database and you need some more esoteric mappings and user-defined types then I'm not sure how happy you'd be with EF.

As a counter-counter point: You absolutely need NHibernate (or something else) when you use EF.

The proof is in Orchard CMS.
