Good: 1. Schema-less is awesome for a lot of applications 2. RESTful JSON store 3. Document attachments 4. Views are fast 5. Full text search "out of the box" with couchdb-lucene Bad: 1. Does not support transactions and AFAIK there are no plans to directly support transactional bulk document API 2. It's impossible to just say "update/delete all people where some field LIKE something", but actually not a problem
