Why your claim that its not as bad as mongo is crazy and self serving: - poor code quality is MUCH worse than a design you don't agree with. how could anyone trust couch? at least mongo is upfront about their design decisions, whether you agree or not - the couch team has gone on and on recently about how unreliable mongo is, and yet here is this... - there were a number of unanswered questions on mikeal's blog - sadly he took them down - probably because he didn't like them. maybe his couch db lost the data and he couldn't figure out why...
Also - really nice job attacking mongo while you guys have a MAJOR bug... classy and proessional...
Another funny thing - how long has 1.0.0 been out? 3 week or so? and this was just found? so what, there are like 10 people using couch in production?
And i'm sure this will be down-voted by the couch fan boys - but this ridiculousness has to be addressed.
