I don't know, I think it's pretty straightforward. If you're going to use a piece of software that's based around map/reduce, you should understand the how and why of map/reduce first. CouchDB is actually a pretty straightforward piece of software. The documentation is totally fine. If it seems sparse, it's because CouchDB is a pretty sparse piece of software! It actually has very few features compared to most database systems.

It's more a framework for building a database system IMO; you do what you need to do in views.

If you had actually read my criticism you'd see that I do get what it does. I'm not faulting the design, I like it a lot, it's just that the implementation has issues that caused me to favour other schema free backends.
