Are couch apps limited versus using a full MVC backend (ie > Express, Strata, ..) There are definitely limitations, pulling info in to the page that isn't in your database isn't doable, _list and _show are pretty slow so you're limited to single page apps if you want to keep things really fast. For simple things, nothing is simpler than a couchapp, but as your app gets more complex you're going to start doing backflips to get it to fit in to the couchapp model. -Mikeal
