I have built and experimented with BigCouch several times (but never in production except for using Cloudant's hosted service). BigCouch is a nice project. Anyway, this is good news, and I thought that this blog post showed some class (i.e., nicely written, polite, etc.)
For the first time, I did build Couchbase from source today (I didn't realize that it was open source until today), and the web UI is slick, and the official Ruby client worked fine. That said, I found the experience confusing because the Couchbase client page has a lot of CouchDB clients listed, and even though I know that the interface is different, I tried a few of them anyway - didn't work.
