Just as a followup to that, you should really try to
write a list of everything you think is missing from
DBIx and discuss it over on the project mailing list. 
The framework is designed around a component
architecture so it's straightforward to add or alter
features.  I find it unlikely you will be able to
match it's features without more than a year of
consistent effort.

Some of the validation stuff that AR does for you
could be handled by some hacking on DBIC::Validation
although to be honest good design would preclude
wanted to put all your validation in the physical
model class.
