These two approaches cannot be easily compared. With pure v4 you can start 
transaction on your own because you control database queries: you know 
where you do inserts, updates and deletes. With Extbase you don't known 
that. Even more: you shouldn't use direct database access. So it is not the 
same.

It seems that this is the problem: people do not use Extbase for the 
intended purpose (to learn DDD). They use Extbase to create extensions. The 
purpose does not match the use. Sounds humorous but that's what we have.
