Which is the better .NET ORM Tool: SubSonic or WebWidgetry?

Question

I was pointed to SubSonic (www.subsonicproject.com), but then I found WebWidgetry (www.nthpenguin.com) Before I dig into them too much I'm curious to know who's used either and what the pro's and con's might be?

Thanks for the help, Jim

Answer 1

I have used SubSonic once before and it was incredibly easy to setup and use. I was actually quite impressed, and for ORM tools it takes a lot to impress me.

Answer 2

WebWidgetry, seems to be in a release candidate while subsonic is a fairly well known ORM mapper.

WW also seems to be going for a totally different market. Subsonic is a general purpose ORM which is modelled to be fast and easy to use.

My basic advice if you want to use anything in production wait till it's got sufficient testing / community behind it.

RC releases are usually not the best thing when it comes to quality and support might be lacking.
