We have a good number of Hibernate users. Some of which are listed on
http://blogs.sun.com/stories
Some use Hibernate directly indeed (not as a JPA implementation). JPA
2.0 may change this to some degree.
But all in all, both options (keeping the default JPA implementation
or using another one) are valid approaches.
I think the pros/cons have been nicely layed out here.
