- - It provides command line tools for generating code (well documented with an IDE-friendly syntax);
- - It's very flexible: you can simply extend Propel;
- - It uses PDO (PHP Data Objects) so it allows your to use the RDBMS you want (MySQL, SQLite, PostgreSQL, Oracle and MSSQL are supported);
- - Propel is an open-source project which is [well documented](http://propelorm.org/documentation/).
