Do you have an example of a query that you think is better in Gremlin? I've yet to see one but haven't spent much time with Gremlin.

A major benefit of Gremlin is portability to e.g. Google's Cayley. If I was specializing in Neo4J I would specialize in Cypher too.

I think that's exactly why openCypher is happening. A robust and widely adopted openCypher is a good thing for users - but also for neo technology.

Does anyone know whether the semantics available in Cypher would be practical to use when querying a distributed graph database? Or is it useful to have a closer to the metal implementation considering the distributed system tradeoffs?
