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 have evaluated both and I believe it would not be fair to recommend one over the other without understanding what your goals are. In your question you stated the differences well and I believe that needs to be your deciding factor. Personally I have used both and will continue to use both depending on the project.

• NHibernate is my choice for larger scale projects because its uses of lightweight POCO's. If I were to ever switch out my ORM "I believe" this would be much easier to refactor.
• SubSonic is my choice when I have a smaller scale project. I believe that performance wise SubSonic scales well. However, I feel tightly coupled with it because it is so engraved in my project. In smaller project I can still switch it out because the code base is so small and it really helps me rip out code as advertised.
