There is a big difference between the changestream of many SQL and noSQL databases, and what RxDB does. Having a stream of changes is useful but not the whole solution. RxDB is capable of using single document changes of a stream and recalculate the new results of an existing query. This saves you not only much IO performance but makes developing much easier.

Sure, that's handy as an extra feature to get better performance, but I see that even in RxDB it's currently in beta and turned off by default.

I suppose this could be the killer feature to warrant using a new database -- because otherwise, from a user point of view, the result is the same.
