Is there still a future for NHibernate?I was just wondering with the new release of Entity Framework 4.1 which supports Code First, Data First, and Model First does it still makes sense to start a web project with NHibernate? I know it has many users, but with MS behind EF I wonder 'who will win'?

Reply 1I believe NHibernate will be around for quite some time. Sure, there are always those who will use EF just 'cause it's endorsed by Microsoft. But looking at a grander scope, before EF, NHibernate had competition from great ORMs like LLBLGen, Subsonic, LightSpeed, etc, etc... all of which seem to have a solid user base. I do not believe the Microsoft's EF will change the scenery that much. Also, given that Microsoft tends to change data access strategy pretty much every 3-5 years using NHibernate might be more of a safe bet.
