I mostly used MySQL. But for my app, I now use CouchDB. It has its limitations, but the automatic sync between devices is pure gold. I haven't written a single line of sync code and it just works.
It baffles me a bit that CouchDB isn't more popular and that people rather use MongoDB for NoSQL, which doesn't come with the same syncing capabilities.

This is the main reason. CouchDB is amazing if you need to sync, but, if you don't, you may be better off using something else (like Postgres). How does CouchDB handle conflicts, by the way?
