What are the main reasons someone would use this over Neo4j? Is being open source the primary differentiator?

  Uses little memory, no JVM. Also interesting for golang shops since it's codebase is relatively small and clean.

  You don't have to pollute your environment with Java.

    How is your environment "polluted" when running something on the JVM?

      It is hard to explain - having JVM on the server is like having empty cans of beer laying around in the living room.

  I've used it in the past (and also contributed some patches), it has some roughness around the edges, but it works far better than Neo4J. It handles far bigger dataset than Neo4J (even if performances are not great) and it is easier to use and maintain.
