It's kind of an apple/oranges comparison. JPA (and with that I don't mean just quickly slapping up 2 spring data repositories) has a huge learning curve for beginners. In addition, it's built on top of JDBC, so the basics never hurt. But yes, fumbling around with plain JDBC is painful for bigger projects.
