The thin driver is superior in reliability. Bugs in OCI can kill a JVM, and some customer's java programs are equally important to their DBMS. Also, the thin driver is prefered because it is self-sufficient, and can be installed and run anywhere there's a JVM, without the platform-specific, large, and to-be-managed Oracle client package.

The real issue is that TAF isn't. At least not for the general JDBC client (thin or thick).
