Well, apparently nobody is. At least not so far. So here's a quick (not
exhaustive) list of the things I think makes DBIC a better choice -

- Multi-col primary key support natively from the start
    (although CDBI is much better these days, I think there are still gotchas)
- Extension via C3 MI composition
    (rather than the import-based nightmare that is CDBI::Plugin::*)
- Native complex search, join and prefetch support
- Real resultset objects (far more powerful than CDBI's Iterator)
- Independent backends via the Storage API
- Objects don't end up being isa DBI
- Less reliance on class data
- Public svn repository and substantial developer presence on list and IRC

The points most cited by users who've switched are multi-primaries, ease of
extension, and the open, participatory development model.
