As for me, I see couchdb as a persistent layer for any ajax app. Though show functions allow pages to be exposed as server-side pages, for basic usage like search engines or simple handhelds, features like sorting and different ui niceties I leave for a clientside javascript, which additionally takes load from server and adds responsiveness to user experience. Of course it's just one of many possible usages, but i find this approach very convenient to me.
