EJB vs POJO/JDBC

I have 10 years of java programming experience. I have looked at Hibernate, EJB 2.1 Entity EJB and now EJB 3.0 where Entity EJBs are gone. I have a hard time convincing myself that EJB or object/relational mapping are any good for my purposes. Why could I not just stick to what I already know, Servlets, plain old java objects (POJO) and JDBC, code my SQL-statements or call a stored procedure.

So, I would like to here some comments from you. Do you really save that much time and coding effort on using object/relational mapping like Hibernate or Entity EJBs?
