Hi Brian,
opinionated is fine; there are lots of strong opinions out there :-) and yes, blogs like your GAEJ entries are indeed helpful in guiding us where we take the technology and what people see as a problem (don't forget, the developers of such software aren't really "users" so maybe miss what you may be seeing). Hope to see more in the future.

1. JDO allows a lot of config, so maybe there are some settings to resolve whatever you think is verbose; why not mention what *it* is ?
2. JDOQL allows implicit parameters. Google didn't implement it in the early access. It is in SVN I'm told, and in the 1.0.1-RC1 that Max put out.
3. JDO also allows persistence.xml and persistence-units.
4. You could have used JDO annotations with JPA persistence actually ;-) And you can use JPA annotations with JDO persistence.
5. The DataNucleus enhancer doesn't pop up any window, that's Googles Eclipse plugin doing it and they are apparently working on it.
6. "I really don't like JDO from a usablility point of few, the stench is too high". How about something rational and specific ? We really want to know where people think there's a problem with an API, so please ... without the verbage ... we'd be pleased to help if necessary (DataNucleus Forum)
