I think Redis is great (i'm using it for a few apps as a backend store for resque, and soon as a rails partial cache with better control over expiration based on an object's dependency-graph). Yet, I don't understand why people use such superlatives constantly about it. Is anyone else a happy user but a bit overwhelmed by the hype? (And i hesitate to use that word because it sounds overly negative.) Call me a student of human psychology noticing a trend that in this case happens to be in my interests. It would be much more irritating if I hated Redis - I don't, but I still can't ignore the squirmy feeling i get when I read about it...
