I started using the filesystem for storage a while back, and then realized that I'm re-implementing a lot of DBMS functionality in my own buggy code. I switched over to using a database.
I'm just saying that you should consider all of your requirements first, figure out how much code you're going to need that just manages your data, and then decide whether a database is really such a bad idea.

I have no problems with databases, but anti-dab articles crop up on Hacker News every now and then. I was wondering if my fixation on db's would hamper my progress...
