Yeah. I remember thinking a few years ago that it tries to be three totally different products at the same time: a straight NoSQL k-v store like S3, a SQL-like OLTP relational thing ("rows are sorta like documents, right") and an offline analytics store with the map/reduce functionality.
It's like they wanted to be all three but couldn't quite commit to one, and the end result is the proverbial "tankicopter" that's neither as strong as a tank, nor as maneuverable as a helicopter.
