I completely agree with you. Shame on me. Currently I wait for DdlUtils 
1.0-rc1, because we want to move the OJB-test-suite creation from Torque 
to Ddlutils (DdlUtils has much better DB support).
The OJB_1_0_RELEASE branch is stable, so you can check out and test it 
against your test-app (feedback is welcome).

Hibernate has much more developer and can support integration of Hib in 
other projects.

yep I think so. The mail list statistic show this too

Shit happens! ;-)
Hibernate has more features than OJB and supports the Persistence API 
(it's on my todo-list for OJB 2.x). OJB has it's advantages if you need 
a persistence layer in heavy concurrent client applications (the 
multithreaded performance of OJB is very good).
