This announcement of switching the default ORM was icing on the cake for me, after 30% through a major project, and re-write of an application using Propel. I stopped the project why I tried to learn Doctorine and found I didn’t really like it, when compared to Propel.

The most significant argument why I vote for Doctrine is performance. In general both Propel and Doctrine have a lot in common but until Doctrine is faster I guess there will be always more votes for it.

Don’t be so quick to knock down Propel.
It just got its second life.
1.4 is coming with some great enhancements:
* http://propel.phpdb.org/trac/wiki/Users/Documentation/1.4/WhatsNew
* http://propel.phpdb.org/trac/wiki/Users/Documentation/1.4/Behaviors

And I’m sure there is more we can expecting at.

Well, Propel has not really lost.
I suppose the choice of changing ORM was done when Propel was supposed to be dead, which is not true (any more).
We can hope that Propel will grow fast and fill the gap with Doctrine.
Meanwhile, it’s not bad to get used with Doctrine: I did for a project of mine, and I have to say that it’s not so difficult.
