Hence why CouchDB’s append-only approach had always been the better choice. Why Mongo ever became more popular still boggles my mind.

- ravenstine 8y agoI think that's because MongoDB makes far more claims around performance around big data than CouchDB does. CouchDB has always focused a lot more on features like having a built in REST-like API, replication, Fauxton, fault-tolerance, etc. There was also a lull where CouchDB wasn't seeing very much development, but that's changed since before the arrival of version 2.0. I wish CouchDB would see a little more popularity than it has, as I've found it(along with PouchDB) to be handy in a lot of projects.
