Yeah... not everybody likes xml configuration.

I personally have never had to create a propel configuration from 
scratch, i use the provided tools that will generate it from an existing 
schema, and will also grab any foreign key constraints defined on the 
database, and use them to create relationships in the objects.

Propel is very flexible and works well with other code. I currently use 
it on my own framework, and it is also used by the Symfony framework.
It is also more of a Data Mapper than an Active Record... so, more 
flexible but little more complex to set up.
