I really don't understand why RethinkDB, a seemingly superior tool, is not getting more traction. MongoDB was and still is a hack, a simple design that's prone to blow up.

What sorta turned me off about RethinkDB is that it totally relies on having a very complete driver to build up their AST on the client-side. There's no official .NET client, for instance, and the "community" one doesn't support arbitrary documents (you must define classes for every document type, it looks like).

  Hm. They should call it webscale and be done with it.
