Based on http://janl.github.com/couchdbx/ it would seem that you're right, though Couchbase was obviously much improved. IIRC, DBX had slightly wonky process control (though that may or may not have just been an issue in the chrome), and the embedded log tail and webview seem like they can be safely dispensed with IMO.
In any case, the DBX chrome is not a big deal; it's the binary distribution of couch itself that is AFAIK. Based on discussions in #couchdb, it seems that rcouch is apparently preferable the source of an OS X binary compared to couchdbx-core (it's certainly far more up to date). - Chas On Jan 12, 2012, at 3:29 AM, Simon Metson wrote: > What about "just" bringing couchdbx up to date?
