Hibernate appears to have a steeper learning curve than plain JDBC. To get started with JDBC you can copy some simple examples that only use a dozen or so lines of code. To get started with Hibernate it appears you need to follow some rules about class structure, create some XML files (or annotate your classes) and so on. There's more initial overhead to set up. From comments I've read in Java newsgroups, I suspect using Hibernate will pay off in terms of making the whole project take less time.
I'm working on a project with hundreds of classes and several tens of database tables. This project uses JDBC directly, simply because that was an arbitrary decision made at the outset. I'd like to find a much smaller project to try out Hibernate, but no opportunity has arisen yet.
I found that using JDBC directly helped me learn some things about threading, exception handling and class design that were interesting and more broadly useful.
Since I haven't used Hibernate, I can't really comment on the specific circumstances where it might be better to use other approaches such as using JDBC directly.
