I shouldn't be giving those ratings myself and I don't want to (publicly
or privately). It will be like Bill Gates rating Windows against Linux
(which he seems to be doing a lot in fact :-)).

In my own world Cayenne has a rating of 100 just because I can change and
commit the code to fit my needs (e.g.:
http://objectstyle.org/confluence/display/CAY/2005/05/21/Cayenne+Custom+Queries),
but for an average user an "open source factor", while still important, is
not THAT important.

When I have more time I should post a detailed article on Cayenne blog,
similar to the Tapestry one (with feature lists but without the rating).

Here is just a few things: Cayenne is missing nested DataContext (very
important on most projects) and distributed DataContext (much less
important). Both of these features are coming in 1.2. As for the
advatages..  Cayenne has SQLTemplate; it is open source; it is
multithreaded; CayenneModeler can do much more than EOModeler and works on
all platforms.

Cheers,
