What you've said makes no sense. The "ORM stuff" is what I want, the Object Relational Mapping. Taking relational data and converting it back and forth to objects. And Hibernate is actually pretty good at this.
I think you've built up a strawman in you mind of what you think "ORM" is. Yes Hibernate is huge and has a lot of features that people shouldn't use. But you can say the same about Microsoft Word, the problem is that everyone uses a different 5% of the huge feature set.
People who work with these technologies on a daily basis don't screw up the core acronyms. I suggest softening your opinion and dropping the platitudes.
It's clear that you want ORM. But you didn't explain why you want it. For all I know, you like to suffer, and that's why you want it, but you've made no compelling argument for people who don't like to suffer to use ORM.
BTW. I'm absolutely on-board with you: nobody should use Microsoft Word. There's absolutely no reason to do that. It's a marketing ploy with a lot of grease money paid to people in charge of procurement in various places. It's absolutely not about 5% of features. It's just downright worst kind of text editor that's in popular use today. Ask me how I know this? I worked in a newspaper! Somehow, Microsoft never ventured into this field, and didn't sell their garbage there. And nobody uses Microsoft in book publishing or any other sort of publishing. Not for any % of its features. So much so that if you bring a manuscript (as an outside author) to publish a book or an article in a newspaper / magazine, and it will be in MS Word format, you'll be most likely asked to convert it to another format. And we are talking about people who need a lot of different features of text editing!
And, I really don't care about what you have to suggest. You aren't in a position to make suggestions really ;)
