No, it's a specialized persistence system. Not everyone wants or needs the truckload of other stuff that bogs down a traditional relational database.

I totally agree. Simple key/value stores are extremely valuable. Their simplicity also requires you to simplify your problems. In many cases you find out that you really don't need that 5 line sql query to join 8 tables.
