So, as a CouchDB 1.x user, where to go next? CouchDB 2.x or Couchbase?

  CouchDB 2.0 is a direct descendant of CouchDB 1.x. The API is 99% compatible, same community working on it, you can replicate between them and so on. I haven't used Couchbase, but I understand besides the "Couch" prefix and that CouchDB's original author working there for a few years, it doesn't have much in common with CouchDB project.

    Well Couchbase Lite is largely compatible as far as I can attest. Not sure how it is with Couchbase proper, but I was under the assumption that it is API compatible to CBL.

  Couchbase has a different API, so it is not an “upgrade”, more a rewrite. CouchDB 2 is 99% API compatible with version 1.

    On the plus side, Couchbase does support the memcache protocol and has a lot of nice features that CouchDB doesn't have.
