Granted that this could be done with a Hibernate based cache store but then again you could be wondering whether they should not just use Hibernate directly with a 2LC.

I don't think that's totally right actually. JBoss AS has been using the FileCacheStore in JBoss Cache for EJB3 SFSB passivation and HTTP session passivation and afaik, I haven't heard any complaints from them. 

So, there must be something right about it and we're not talking about sporadic use here. Remember that this is actually part of the supported EAP 5.x as well.

Granted that using FCS as shared cache store is crazy, but there's a valid use for local use.
