I think that EJB 3 will have a big market at a ratio of 90:1 compared to EJB 2.
EJB 3 creators tackled most, if not all of the negative traits of EJB 2. In addition, they incorporated good features found in other O/R mapping software like hibernate. One of the participants in the creation of EJB 3 (spec) is the creator of Hibernate.
A good question is if Hibernate will adjust, or have already adjusted by now, to comply to EJB 3 specs; I am still researching on this. If yes, then EJB 3 would even gain more market, as existing applications can use EJB 3, while having hibernate implementation at the back.
