Very nice summary Krzysztof, I would also mention that there is a number of languages built on top of the core API (nodes, relatioships) like https://github.com/andreasronge/neo4j and https://github.com/tinkerpop/pipes (and on top of that Gremlin, support in the Neo4j Server, see http://docs.neo4j.org/chunked/snapshot/gremlin-plugin.html) that can be used as a convenient way to script these core operations.
