"rapid proliferation of Redis commands"? If the total is indeed, well over 100, that figure is spread among completely different data structures--lists, hashes, strings, sets, sorted sets--so i'm not sure it's even meaningful to compare the number of commands in redis with the number in some other DB which is based on a single data structure. Also, the increase in the number of commands might indeed just most reflect the incremental addition of new data structures to redis since its beginning (just strings, i believe).
