Object Mappers

"NONE of them are easy to use. All I want to do is specify a database and hit "Generate". Kickstarter.net is on the right track, but they've got a ways to go."
[Robert McLaws]

I have been using EntityBroker on a recent project and it is extremely easy to use. I highly recommend it. It is just about to be RC1. I prefer a fully object mapper like EntityBroker over a DAL generator any day. Still not in a final release, but the docs are pretty good and whole package works great (plus, you get out of the box support for multiple RDMBS's like Oracle, MS Sql, etc.). This is a glimpse of what is to come with ObjectSpaces (which MS releases next year). If ObjectSpaces is all that it is hyped up to be (which I don't doubt), it will really make some waves in the community.
