The product lost momentum when compared to other "competitors". Its founder publicly, loudly and kinda dickishly renounced it. Performance can still be a issue. The documentation and website are wildly confusing. There is no clear roadmap for those watching on the outside. Last but not least, you would be fighting over a name that does not correctly tells what the product does. As we all know, Couch is supposed to stand for "Cluster Of Unreliable Commodity Hardware" and the support that CouchDB provides for clustering is less than stellar, to put it mildly. CouchDB and CouchBase should differentiate themselves through clear and concrete goals and roadmaps. While names and logos are nice things to have, it seems pointless to bicker about them when both products stand in the brink of irrelevancy when it comes to new users. Daniel
