Subsonic Vs NHibernate

Question

What is the concensus on when to use one of these tools adversed to the other? I find Subsonic very useful in terms of getting things done quickly, but on large projects it

Answer 1

I get asked this question a lot and really it comes down to how much you want to fiddle. I can't tell you how damaging Chris Cyvas's comments RE SubSonic scaling have been - and I've been responding to these ever since :(.

The deal is - perf-wise, SubSonic scales very nicely. In terms of project growth - ANY tool you use will require your attention. Even NHibernate.

I wrote a post on how to use the Repository pattern with DI (as you would with NHIb or any tool for that matter) with SubSonic 2.1:

I also wrote a post on the performance of SubSOnic:

Hope this helps.
