(Let's leave MongoDB out here ;-)
What I really love and what the relationals do not have are:
* Graphs as first class citizens! (try to view them in the web gui :-)
* The tight V8 & JavaScript integration (FOXX is more then cool. Hope I will be able to use it from Clojure Script)
What you might find in earlier databases but not completely in
others today is (my personal hitlist :-) :
* The increadible amount of indices with even skip and n-gram!
* MultiCore ready
* Durability tuning (already mentioned by Jan)
* AQL covering KV, JSON and Graphs! (Martin Fowler was quite sceptical that this model integration could work...)
* And a MVCC that makes it SSD ready.
* Capped Collections
* Availablity on tons of OS versions as Windows, iOS, all UNIXes and even Travis-CI (how cool is that?!)
Try it. Might be fun in production compared to other famed NoSQL DBs.... (at least to me)
