There is nothing wrong in comparing two databases, many users don't really care about the internals and just want to know which one is the best for most jobs. I personally think couchdb is good for most apps that need a good db :)

Firstly, thanks for the write up Paul.

However, after looking at the feedback from the CouchDB book and monitoring the community response to CouchDB I am starting to feel that any kind of comparison
to RDBMS is a harmful one, unless done very, very carefully.

any why X is better than Y is almost always counter productive unless its very well reasoned and in depth- if you don't go for a persuasive argument, all you have is a flame war waiting to happen.
