I find MongoDB easier to deploy and maintain because it's easier to build and monitor. CouchDB with Erlang not so much (for our environment, it's totally alien).

EDIT: I made a statement about our preference, for our environment. I did not make broad claims about these DBs for other people. How am I upsetting HN?

Why do you build your DBMS from source?

Specifically for CouchDB, because packages provided for CentOS/RHEL were outdated and now they don't even exist.
