Derby should live upto its stated goals. But , a large no: of the
users use derby as a simple embedded datastore
Those users
 * Do not care about JDBC compliance
 * Care about footprint jar size and RAM. If I am distributing my

footprint.
 * They may prefer Derby because it has a very stable, tested codebase
